1 EXT – IN THE FOREST DOWN A PATH IN BEDDINGTON, LATE AT NIGHT.
The deathly silence was broken by the sound of twigs snapping and the yelp of a young woman. Trees cover the area around her, surrounded by thick fog making her vision hazy. A shadow emerges from the thick fog, of a tall, slender woman moving quick pace in order to get away from something. A close up of her face with make up running down her face, dirty; shows her true emotion of fear.
The woman is frightened for her life and you can tell this with a close up of her running and panting of heavy breathing. The camera is following her with a pan on the left side of the woman at a long shot. When the woman looks back it will be a close up again from the front of her as she turns back to see her fate, this is where we see a silhouette begin to emerge. The figure appears to of a man who is wearing a long coat and big bulky boots with a hat on. He seems to be very muscular and he also appears to be very aggressive with the way he walks, with the man being very heavy on his feet.
She’s holding her high heels in one hand, with her mobile phone in the other, the clothes that she's wearing (dress and tights) are dirty; as though she had been having a bad night and getting chased by this mysterious figure for a while. As she had become distracted by the figure, she's not looking where it is that they are going and ends up falling to the floor whispering the word "Shit" trying not to make too much noise. As she had fallen to the floor this causes her to graze her knee and cut her hands on the floor. At that moment she doesn't have the energy to get back up as she had been running for a while and you can tell this because as she is panting uncontrollably trying to catch back her breath. The camera does a ninety degree pan from the left side of her body stopping on her face whilst she is panting. Whilst the camera is focused on the woman, as she turns around, it does a focus pull from the woman to the silhouette of the man in the background as she's watching him, the camera angle then changes to a long shot of the man standing tall, seeming as though he is proud with what he is doing. The camera then switches angles again to a low angle showing a slight scar on his cheek and slowly moves down to a high angle over his left shoulder focusing on the right side of his body and you see him drop something. The camera then changes angles again to a close up of his hand and we see him clutch the object in his hand which we then realise it to be a hammer.
Once the woman notices that the man has clearly come prepared, she finds the energy to crawl over into the trees to the left of her. Once she is in there, she uses her smashed up phone to try and call her friend, the phone is ringing for a while whilst the woman is anticipating an answer.
“Hey whats u...”
Before she could finish the woman quickly say to her friend,
Woman
“I need your help! I though I'd be okay walking home from the party but someone's after me,”
“you have got to call the police and tell them tha..”
Friend interrupts
“I’m not falling for this shit, not after the last time I'm busy, I'll call you later.”
The woman says quietly to herself
"Oh god, stay calm”
The woman starts to hear movement coming from, the outside of the forest so she decides to move deeper into the woods. She finds a place which she thinks to be safe. She decides to wipe away her tears but rather than having the feeling of mud being rubbed against her face, it's something slimy. With the look on her face you can tell that there's also a bad smell which is coming from her hands. She then pulls out her phone again to get a bit of light, she shines the light onto her hands and notices that it is blood. She shines the phone light and a short distance away she can see what she assumes to be a dead body. With a sudden realisation of what is going to happen to her and how frequent that this person does it; she starts screaming but tries to hold it in by covering her mouth although she finds it sickening knowing someone's blood is on them.
The man hits the woman around the head with his hammer, after all, he can't let her get away after what it is she has seen. She had almost been knocked out cold. But she wakes up still has some of her vision hazey and we can tell this because the camera begins to fade in and fade out from a point of view shot. She feels a sudden rush of pain in her head and as she looks up we notice that she is being dragged away by the man. The woman's hands had been tied up by the man in order to prevent her from trying to fight back but she's still kicking her feet trying to stand up and escape but this is so unrealistic.
As the man is dragging the woman away, she screams as he goes the same way that they came in, it begins with a long shot but as they get further away it fades to a extreme long shot. And her screams slowly fade into the distance.
