The Wendigo (working title)

i aint posted anything on here for a while now but i have been doing a lot of thinking for my narrative project and playing round with photoshop to create lots of character and scene concepts.
before i post my designs i thought it wold b best to start with the synopsis of my screenplay.

the camera starts of with a wide shot of a snowy forest canopy.
Slowly the camera tracks down to reveal a car speeding down, going deeper into the dark and icy forest.
The car quicky stops and skids across the road. as detective wilks steps out the car, a bottle jack danials rolls out into the snow.
Wilks grunts and reaches into the car grabbing a shotgun. He kicks the car door shut with his foot. He then stairs into the cold trap that lays before him.
He stumbles along at first but the deeper he goes into the forest the deeper the snow gets. Wilks is tired and drunk but knows he cant turn back.
Suddenly something catches his eye. he loads his gun and chases of in pursuit of what he believes is the wendigo. As he runs further into the forest's depths; a dark shadow is following him, weaving between the trees, eventually it rushes under the detective from under his feet, knocking him over.
As Wilks crawls over to grab the shotgun, the shadow carries the gun off like a wave of water. Over whelmed by the supernatural force, Wilks stares of into the darkness where the shadow disappeared. Wilks, still on the ground, cautously stands up and slowly moves his hand into his inside pocket. Wilks cocks the revolver ready to shoot whatever comes out the shadows.
Starring into the abyss the creature finally emerges.
No longer just a shadow but now fully in its corporeal, it is much more dangerious than Wilks could have imagined. the tall, skinny boney creature staggers over to wilks. Lifting its right arm ready to lunge at him; wilks pulls out the revolver and shoots off all its rounds at the creature. the wendigo takes in every bulliet but insteady of a cry of pain, it laughs like a wild animal. with a twisted smile it slashes its claws towards wilks. the camera then fades out.
