Classification:
We have decided to make this film a 15 as it would be immoral for people of 16-17 to be filming an 18 classification. We have also done this so we can open up new possibilities as we are not limited to only one age range of people. We also feel that there is no need for lots of blood and gore.


Synopsis:
Five years ago Rachel Howard died in a horrific car accident. Five years later, Rachel’s Father seeks revenge for justice that was never done. How much blood must be lost in order for this grizzly revenge to be fulfilled?


Treatment:
Beginning: A zoom-in is taken of a girl washing dishes (Close-up of the back of her body). There is then a close up of the sink and some knives being washed. There is then a close-up of a phone ringing. Diegetic sound of a phone ringing is played. A close up is shown of the girls expression as she hears the phone ringing. A tracking shot is used when she is walking over to answer the phone. Close-up of the girl picking up the phone. She says on the phone ‘Hello’. There is a second ring and she again says 'Hello?'. On the third ring she says ‘Hello, who is this?’ whilst a man a man is behind her outside at the window. She looks outside, she can barely see the man, and she can’t see the figures face in the darkness. There is then an over shoulder shot of the man looking at the house, looking at the girl on the phone from across the street.
The girl then closes the windows and curtains and locks the doors. She goes back to watching television. The girl then realises curtains are flowing in the wind and the window opens. There is a close-up on the girl’s frightened expression on her face. Whilst we see the man coming up behind her. The girl screams and the camera goes black.


Middle: The camera is black at first, we here a boy and a woman screaming and arguing. There is a sound of a heart beating, it starts off slow and then goes fast there is also heavy breathing. A first person vision camera is used when the girl awakens she looks around while the camera has blurred vision. Flash backs of old time memories of people laughing.
Whilst the girl is in the flashbacks the mysterious figure is seen or mentioned in her memories. She has flashbacks of her first day of school, Graduating University and of her old job interview. In every flashback she learns about this mysterious figure and what he is like. In the job interview flashback she finds out that the previous worker was a man called ‘Denis Howard’ which resigned because of the death of his daughter ‘Rachel Howard’.


End: The girl awakes from her memories, the killer grabs her and lunges her against a tree. She then discovers that her dad was in the car that made his daughters car crash. She quickly discovers this was all a revenge scheme. The girl makes struggling sounds then all of a sudden it goes quiet. There is a long-shot of the back of the killer walking away casually, the perfect revenge has been committed.
