Final idea - Plot synopsis


My final idea for my film opening is for a teenager (Zoe) to be seen getting ready and then getting the bus into the city with her skateboard and bag. Once she arrives in town she starts skating about, which is when you see a guy following her in a car and filming her with an old camera. The girl continues to skate with no knowledge that she is being followed by a mysterious stalker. She is seen skating through an under passage, the stalker not far behind her when you see her putting a missing persons poster up before skating on. She is then seen skating on to another place in town where she stops again and puts another poster up before again skating away, which is when you see the stalker come up to the poster with his video camera to get a closer look at the poster.

If this was to be made into a full film then this opening would lead to the teen girl trying to track and find her missing sister due to the police closing the case off after a few months with no leads and assuming the girl was dead. As the teen got closer to finding her sister, the stalker would appear more, often when she comes close to figuring something out about what happened to her sister. Weeks would go by like this until suddenly the teen realises she is getting followed by someone. The teen would experience many flash backs to when her little sister wasn't missing which starts to give the audience an indication as to what happened. Various people would come and try and stop the teen from searching for her sister telling her she was dead and there was no point in trying but she wouldn't listen. The Stalker would keep getting closer and closer to the teen, taking more photos and filming her more when she discovered the objects that related to her sister. The teen would almost be giving up hope when she goes into her little sister’s room and looks around. She notices a book open on the bed and goes to put it on the shelf when she notices something odd about it. Old photos of their father as a child lay on the pages of the book, acting like bookmarks for the pages. She would flick through the book and discover many which she had never seen before when her father was around. She would get to the end of the collection of photos when she discovers one with her father in and also another young man. When she turns the photo over she see the name Niklaus Buchanan scribbled on the back. On further investigation she discovers that this man is her uncle and more photos and documents that suggest why she has never heard of this man before and why when her father lived with them, why he never mentioned him. She soon makes the link that the person following her is her uncle and finally discovers the truth of what happened to her father when he abandoned them. She also uncovers why her father left her, and with all the new information she discovers, goes out and begins to search for her sister again, only to find her dead at the hands of the person she trusted the most.
