Scene 1: OPENING SCENE

Phone Rings. The boss gives orders to his worker. Only seen in extreme close ups of the mouths to keep their identity hidden. The attacker is moving shifty his mouth trembling as he speaks. The boss shows no expression through his mouth he just uses a stern voice which emphasis he is in control.

Attacker (Craig): Hello

Boss (Dene): It’s me

Attacker (Craig): What can I do for you?

Boss (Dene): You know. Mission 10.

Attacker (Craig): I just don’t think I..i..can do it.

Boss (Dene): It’s your order, you are the only person I trust for this job, it’s what you get paid for. Good Luck.

 

Scene 2: No speech, just the radio. See a different side to the attacker. He sits on his stool pouring shots of vodka and holding his head in his hands. The audience see he is afraid as he moves shifty across the kitchen side.

The Radio (News Report) Hello, and good evening you are listening to the BBC radio news report at 8:00pm. Police have joined in the search of Rosie Panton after she has been reported missing 48 hours ago, police they will do everything possible to find the loved girl and return her to her family. Local village shop owner Silvia has been the last one to see her but is not a suspect:

Silvia: “Rosie is such a lovely girl her mother is sick and she looks after her, she always comes into my shop every night, we all miss her and do hope she returns back home safely”

PC Walker: “We will do everything we can to help get the Panton’s family girl back, we have the best forces and people on the case, the family just need to rest”

Scene 3: Camera pans the attacker’s plans and we see him circle the victim makes the audience feel emotionally involved with his plans.

Scene 4: Dark and silent. The camera tracks the victims movements every step of the way the camera lingers on her and no sound makes the scene feel as though it is moving very slowly this engages the audience with the scene as they expect fear.

Scene 5: The attacker moves fast and is on edge. The victim is chained to the table. Builds up the fear. The attacker’s movements show that he is not comfortable.

Rosie: Why me? Why? Please help me

Attacker: Just be quiet, I told you to be quiet.

Scene 6: Camera pans the articles slowly whilst these voices are put over the top. Also see flashbacks of the previous events emphasising that we are seeing from the attackers POV and he feels guilty. His thoughts are haunting.

Mother: Please just bring our girl home.

Brother: Our family is lost without her.

Police: We will do everything we can to get her back.

Silvia: She is such a lovely girl.

Mum: why would somebody be so cruel?

Radio: Further news on the Rosie Panton case.

Police: It’s hard to know is she is either dead or alive.

Scene 7: Rosie quickly jumps up from her bed and looks around panicky we see that it was just a dream.
