Mood board






We are going with the theme of death and being trapped in a room until someone finds the murderer. The first victim is going to be murdered using poison found in a wine glass, and to add atmosphere we will use candle sticks.

                    Wow Melissa! You must've slaved away in the kitchen all day. This meal is dead                                   gorgeous.

Melissa:
                    [Laughing] Thank you so much, I'm glad you're all enjoying yourselves.

EXT TO INT. FORTUNE TELLER'S SHOP - Day

All characters look shocked and terrified. Protagonist notices Benedict slip something into his pocket, but does not draw attention to it.


Protagonist:
                    [Panicked and stuttered] I didn't believe her. I thought it was all a myth... a.. a.. fantasy!                       He can't really be dead. He's faking it.. he must be!

Melissa shakes the body and checks his pulse. The guests stand up and start shouting and blaming one another. Blood pours out of Vince's mouth.

Melissa:
                    But how did this happen!?

Paul:
                    There's only one possible explanation...

Protagonist:
                    [Pause] MURDER!
