Target Audience: Both genders, age: 15-35Genre: HorrorIntended Purpose: To scare the target audiencePlot: Girl feels she is being followed, yet is not sure if this is just her imagination. After returning home from dropping her mother off to the pub, she finds there has been a powercut. She walks up thestairs to find her ‘follower’ and screams herself away. She thinks it was all a dream so falls back asleep. The camera slowly retreats and we see her ‘follower’ standing at the end of her bed.Camera shooting: Fairly simplstic, medium close ups, establishing shots etc.Music: Made on Garage BandCharacters: Main protagonist (the girl), the mother and the followeror stalker.Film distributed: through VimeoAdvertising: Poster and Radio trailer

As this shot takes place in a library, obviously the lighting is artificial. Despite this, particular areas are highlighted with extra lighting to show key parts within the shot.The camera is in the form of an over the shoulder shot of her picking up a book off the shelf. We have decided to use this shot because it almost shows the scene in the girl’s perspective as we will be able to see the man’s eyes through the bookshelf.The miss en scene shows the girl picking up a book and seeing the stalker's eyes through the shelf. The two characters shown are the girl, the main protagonist, and the man’s eyes through the book shelf. This will make the male character appear mysterious as we can only see his eyes.

The sound in this particular shot will be tense yet fairly quite. We will try to add a sense of confusion through the music as we are not certain as to if the man is actually there.

As with the previous shot, this scene also takes place in a library so the lighting is artificial. We will make sure the lighting is fairly dark and sinister where her 'follower' is standing to make the scene seem more eerie and evil. As the library starts to close, the lights will switch off one by one so the darkness is coming 'towards her'. The darkness could symbolise the idea of death and danger. When the phone is shot close up, the camera will show the phone in focus and blur the background to show the audience that the phone is an important prop.

The mise en scene in this particular shot shows 'unknown' calling against a red background of the phone, which could connote danger or death. The character in this particular shot is not shown, yet we see the girl holding her phone, obviously looking at the unknown number calling.The only, yet important, prop shown in this shot is the phone, held by the girl.

In this shot, before the phone rings, there will be a build up in music until her phone vibrates loudly on the table as this will make the audience give a ‘sigh of relief’ as it is only her phone, yet when she sees that it is an unknown number, perhaps eerie music will play to make the audience feel in suspense.

After answering the phone, we will hear the caller breathing heavily down the phone.

The lighting in this particular scene is fairly dark as it is outside at night, however, to make sure the female character is visible, we will include lighting such as car headlights behind the girl or lighting equipment by the camera.

The shot is shown in the perspective of the ‘follower’ hiding behind a tree or bush. The girl is shown n the distance closing her car boot. This tells the audience that the girl is not just ‘seeing’ things and is actually being watched.

The sound at this point will be tense and uncanny to make the audience feel anxious.

The fourth image shows the girl who finally gets home yet does not realise that her 'stalker' has followed her and is hiding behind a hedge or fence. The porch light in front of her house will light the scene so the girl appears almost vulnerable as she is completely lit, yet the 'follower' will look sinister in the background. The camera will be in the form of an establishing shot to set the scene in order for us to see both characters present in the shot.

The sound, once again, will be tense and ‘on edge’ to make the audience in fright as to what is going to happen to the girl.

The lighting is artificial in this shot also as it is set in the girl’s home. The camera shot is set over the shoulder when in conversation with her mother to show the follower outside the window.

In this shot, the mother and daughter are discussing the fact that she thinks someone is ‘following’ her, yet she comes to the conclusion that she is just ‘seeing’ things as she is tired, so assures her mother she is okay and will take her mum to the pub.

The sound will be diegetic, hearing the conversation between the two characters and, perhaps, hearing the television in the background. We may decide to play a sharp noise when we see the ‘follower’ outside the window, yet as the girl does not see him here.

In the sixth shot, the girl drops her mum off at the pub, and as she is about to get out of the car to say goodbye to her mum, the camera sees the 'stalker' in the distance. The lighting will be lit by streetlights and, perhaps, some extra lighting from car headlights, as this may not be bright enough. Half of the 'follower' will be lit to show his 'sinister' side yet we will still be able to see him.

This shot shows an establishing shot in order for the audience to see both characters in the scene.

The sound will be similar to that throughout yet there will be background characters talking and laughing outside of the pub.

The lighting in this shot may be lit by the inside lights within the car. Although if this looks too obvious, the actor playing the ‘follower’ could hold a torch close to his face for the camera to see him in the rearview mirror.

The camera is in the form of an over the shoulder shot yet we are in the perspective of the male actor as we can see his eyes in the mirror

The sound will be tense and fairly sharp, although the main protagonist does not see him at this point so the music will not be too loud.

As there has just been a ‘power cut’ in this shot, we found it difficult to find the perfect lighting to light the scene yet still show there has been a power cut. We have decided to use artificial lighting in another room with doors open in order to see the character through the power cut.

The camera in this shot shows the girl looking in to the cupboard to search for a torch. The sound at this point will become even more tense with more of a build up for the next shot in order for the audience to feel anxious.

The lighting in this scene is lit by a torch as there has been a power cut. She holds a torch as she goes up the stairs and this shines on his face to show his face’s shadows. This is the first time the camera sees what he looks like facially. The camera will be an extreme close-up of the follower's face in the girl's perspective. The follower will be dressed in black and will look dangerous.

Obviously this will be the climax of the film where she sees her stalker so the music will be more upbeat before she screams.

The last scene is where the girl has screamed herself awake to her mother calling her phone. She says to her mother she just had a bad dream and her mum says she is getting a cab home so the girl falls back asleep. The camera retreats to see her ‘follower’ standing at the end of her bed in the mirror.The lighting may still be dark as there has been a power cut or, perhaps, the stalker could have switched the fuse box off so may have switched it back on at this stage?

The sound will be quiet until the camera sees the male character in the scene and then the music will be almost insane?
