                                         Plot of Narrative Action of ‘Blood of Purity’


‘Blood of Purity’ opens with a black screen with a voice over of a news report declaring another girl has been taken and is warning the general public to be careful. The darkness is broken by a match strike, this then starts a sequence of quick cuts of eyes closed. This match then lights a candle, these quick cuts of the girls eyes begin to open and blink.
Bird’s eye view shot of art work; dark shadows. Again a quick cut sequence showing him drawing, cuts back and forth from him being there or not. Cuts of the paintbrushes/charcoal/pencils from different angles. Leads into painting sequence, two clips over laid and separated. Revert back to girl’s eyes. Crying and bloodshot- close up of eyes. As tears fall down/off face, we quick cut to blood/paint dripping into water pot. Close up of rippling water.Quick cut back to girl screaming, as this happens the water from the pot will feed into the water in the photography tray and there are photos being developed in the water.
The water pot is then dropped but the camera does not leave the close up of the water pot. This then quick cuts into smashing of the pot from different angles, slow and sped up.
Cuts back to his drawing/writing in the diary. We see pages being turned and layered shots of him drawing different pictures. Subtle over lay of blood dripping down paper.
Hammering nails into the faces of the pictures of the girls (just developed). Overlaying of blood steading dripping from nose. Quick cuts back to him slamming her head against wall.
Long shot of girl in corner of room. On the floor, shaking looking scared. After 3 seconds, overlaying shot of her screaming and banging on the wall (SAME CAMERA SHOT). 
 


Burning from the back of the photo shot emerges. Quick cut series shot of it speeding up the burning. Shot of artist slicing through photograph. We see him slicing the white back of the photo, then reverts to the image and the scalpel head slicing down her body on the image.
Shot of scratch marks on back- reverse shots of him drawing the figures and the side of his face as she draws. Shots of him dripping paint down the drawings from the eyes.
The climax of shots consist of quick cuts man carving ‘Purity’ into her arm, this can all intertwine with shots of him drawing, her in the room, screaming, trying to escape.
Zoom in on the ‘Purity’. To end black screen, blood of purity title. Blood drips of like in Dawn of the dead.
