Beginning –
Set the scene: establishing shot of road victim lives in – pretty, quaint, decent sized family homes, cul-de-sac. Wide shot of her walking down the drive from school, opens the front door, throws her bag on the floor, kisses her mom and runs up stairs. She’s sitting on her bed, drawing an anime figurine listening to her rock music, flash back to school and what happened that day – laughter with friends, name calling from the idiots in her year etc. This builds up empathy for her. She’s normal. Some dialogue over dinner with her family and then cuts to food shopping with her mom – introduce stalker. He’s in the background, blurred at the beginning, then camera focuses on him, turning into their aisle/walking past. Neither victim or her mom notice – he them bumps into them ‘Oh sorry lovey’ and picks up the tin that the victim drops in shock and hands it to her – uncomfortably long eye contact between them, she calls him a freak as he walks off and her mother laughs.
Middle –
Victims phone starts to malfunction every so often – she receives a phone call where nobody talks, it’s just breathing and then the person hangs up – she thinks it’s the boy she likes messing around but every time he calls her phone switches off and won’t turn back on for a while. It happens once or twice and she thinks nothing of it. Various dramas are introduced – bullying, grandmother dies, auntie’s wedding, outings with friends – but there’s a growing unexplainable uneasiness. Whatever she does, wherever she goes she always feels watched. There is a sinister presence felt everywhere except in her home. His blurred disguised figure is everywhere she goes, watching. She goes to her mom for help, but she laughs it off and says she’s daft, but the victim is always so jumpy – scene on the bus where an elderly man taps her on the shoulder and she screams frightening him half to death – and it’s effecting everything in her life. One by one she loses the people dearest to her – her friends no longer want to put up with the crazy, her family just leave her to her room, teachers give up on her etc – she’s left with no one. Completely ostracized, she enters her house after school one evening – nobody is home. She dumps her bag, goes up to her room, shuts the door and draws with her iPod on. He walks into the house after her, quietly, she hears nothing. He rummages around downstairs, knowing full well her music in on too loud to hear him. Suspense is created because he draws it out so much. She starts to feel uneasy – even though her home is her safe haven. She turns off her iPod and goes into the bathroom, taking her phone as some source of comfort. It starts to ring, the same breathing and then hang up – phone switches off. She’s panicking, there is no way she can call for help because her phone is off. He leaves the house just minutes before she builds up the courage to go downstairs. The door opens – it’s her mom and dad coming home from work. This then cuts to a news report, a young girl, stolen from the street on her way home from school, parent’s plea for help. It’s the victim’s parents. Flashback – to victim walking from the bus stop, music on, oblivious to anything. The stalker bumps into her again and she drops her school bag. He apologises as she bends to pick it up – he covers her mouth with his hand and she faints – he’s knocked her out with a drug. She awakens in a dark cellar, light flickers, drips are heard. He comes down the cellar door – creepy dialogue – she’s scared. Tries to cry for help but he gags her after a nasty struggle. She is tied to a chair. He proceeds to violate her and humiliate her culminating in a nasty drawn out murder, of which he has been planning for ages. Blue prints of his plans on the walls.
End –
Her body is never found, he is never caught. Her parents stare at the closed door of her bedroom but everyone else carries on as normal. Cuts to another girl, in another city in the supermarket with her dad – the stalker bumps into her ‘Oh sorry lovey’ BLACKOUT. Credits
