Assessment Eight - Plot Outline

The following plot outline will be the one I will be using for my horror opening sequence. This will give you a general gist of the story.

• Open scene with a phone ringing (close up)
• Girl answers the phone and carries on with the conversation while the institution logo appears. *play incidental music*
• Carry on conversation then put the phone down then the girl hears a knock at the door. She answers it but there's no one there. She walks outside and has a look round then goes back in the house. (the phone rings again)
• The girl says something to the effect of 'are you gonna give up now because i'm finding you rather annoying, you're not even funny!'
• The girl goes back to watching a horror film
• The phone rings again
• Girl has an on-going conversation with the killer trying to scare her. *incidental music*
• Girl runs and checks to see if the doors are locked
• Hears a knock at the backdoor, goes outside and finds that there's no-one there and goes back inside and locks the door. At that moment the girl see's the killers reflection in the window .
• Girls ducks underneath him and starts to run and shouts out 'HELP!'
• Killer grabs a knife from the kitchen and makes his way upstairs but walking quickly.
• Girl is half way up stairs when the killer grabs her foot and stabs her in the leg then kicks him which makes him stumble down the stairs.
• Killer chases her in the bathroom with a struggle.
• They both have a bit of a battle until the killer stabs the girl and she falls to the floor.
• The girl reaches for his mask *point of view shot*
• As soon as the killer stabs her again the opening sequence goes straight into the title of the film then the credits comes after.
