Synopsis and summary of ideas

Our film is going to be about a girl who stalks a group of 3 girls (but one in particular) using mainly the internet. In the opening we will show shots of someone flicking through Facebook and typing their name into Google, then her starting to follow them on days out. The theme is of teenage jealousy, and the stalker who is a girl in the same year at college and becomes obsessed in becoming her victim. Green is the colour of jealousy, so might put in some flashes of green light, or a green wash on a scene. Blackouts to a flash up of photos and rapid cuts for editing; and use a camera to take the photos and emphasising the sound of the shutter release, and shooting the flash into the camera making the screen go white. Starts with an aerial shot of someone’s feet, and camera slowly rises to show she’s chasing someone, so you just see the back of the victim until she starts to turn around but only until the audience can see the side of her face. Then flashback to how the stalking began on Facebook. We might use a prologue. We’ll use a cut from a picture or a video of one of the girls to the stalker wearing the same outfit. Also one of the girls loses her bracelet, the cut to the stalker wearing it. An outside park scene will be used at sunset in the town park possibly at the bandstand because most thrillers are mainly filmed at night, but well still need some daylight to be able to film without lighting and need it to look like a casual scene but have a suspenseful element to it; all filmed from the stalker’s point of view. Slow quiet music so it blends into the background and isn’t too obvious, but also builds tension. It should also come across quite innocent and dainty, as the stalking started off harmless until she started to follow the girls on days out and then follows the main girl. Slight sound of footsteps in the background could be faded in and out throughout, to show that it is still in a flashback. The last scene is a rapid cut of the stalker quickly opening her eyes as the stalker catches up with her victim, leaves it on a cliffhanger to make the audience wonder what she is opening her eyes to.
