Screenplay for Short Film

 EXT. FOREST - EVENING A GROUP OF TEENAGERS (5) are on a camping trip in a supposedly haunted area of the forest suddenly find themselves lost. They are all relatively close together as they walk, surrounded by the one holding a lantern. GREG Does anyone know the way back to the camp? The camera cuts to the one holding the lantern. RORY I don’t know, but it’s getting dark. The group contemplates on which direction to go, being suddenly interrupted by a twig snapping. Rory spins to look at the source of the rustling.
