General overview of : The Detour

My film focuses on a group of young adults (aged around 20) who go to camp in the woods during Winter break. The false hero (Jack) is convinced there is a quicker way to get to their cabin when they want to stay. When the usual bridge to get to the cabin is broke down, the group find a strange old man that reinforces Jack’s idea and says they need to carry on further into the forest to be able to get to the cabin. The detour leads them to an abandoned building to which the whole group want to go and investigate, Kim (Jack’s girlfriend) objects and has a bad feeling about it, but Jack ignores her and almost forces her to go.

In the abandoned building they find nothing, it is completely empty. Until they stumble upon an underground warehouse in the facility. They find experiments on animals and humans to try and genetically engineer them. The old man that helped them appears almost out of nowhere and warns them to stay away. The old man is genetically engineered and can move extremely fast across short distances, they try to fight him off but end up splitting up and running away.

We split to different groups of people, one of the groups being Jack, Tim and Kim. The old man finds them and battles them, Tim is knocked unconcious and when he comes to he chooses to run as far and as fast as he could. This is where this storyboard happens, half way through the story, disorientating the audience showing them a glimpse of what’s to come. He meets up with Jack half way and then talk about what happened. They both eventually get killed and that is where the storyboard ends.
