Scene 1 - A child's plea
(Scene begins with a long shot of a mother and child, they are standing near a road and the child is being disciplined by the mother, the child is holding a red balloon)
Mother - (angrily) Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Child - (defiantly) I am!
Mother - Don't you backchat me!
Child - I'm nooooooot!
(Shot changes to a high angle shot with a close up of a hand grasping a doll, looking down upon the pair from a window.)
Mother - (threatening) I've had enough of you! You're grounded, you just wait until I tell your dad!
(Low angle shot of the rising red balloon that the child has let go of in a panic)
Child - (afraid) No! Please don't tell dad! I'm sorry!
The idea behind this initial 20 second scene is to provide the suggested killer with a motivation for his actions and to introduce his trademark item, the doll. By familiarising the audience with this concept early on we are able to lay the foundations for the rest of the production. The high angle shot of the suggested killer in particular is used to show there power.
Scene 2 - Crime Scene
(Initial long shot of news reporter in front of a crime scene)
Reporter - (Calm with an undertone of fear) Police tonight launched a multiple murder enquiry after the gruesome discovery of a mutilated body around 7pm yesterday on Shakespeare Road.
(Low angle mid shot of covered body being removed from the scene)
Reporter - (freaked out) It is believed to be the fifth in a series of killings where the body is left... with a doll?
(Close up of doll)
(Transition to a zoom out shot of two people watching the report)
Reporter - (Regaining composure) Police still have no leads on the case and are appealing for witnesses. Just when will it end?
(Couple exchange worried looks on the sofa)
Josh - Did you hear that? That's the road Shane lives on! (anxious)
Kelly - (comforting) Maybe you should call Shane, just to make sure he's alright?
Josh - (picks up phone) OK, you're right, I'll call him.
(cut to a close up of side table/chest of drawers type object with phone vibrating on top)
(Hand suddenly jumps on phone)
Josh - (Hesitantly) Hello? (pause) Shane?
(unknown individual brings phone closer to face, hand has a res substance over it in parts, shot cuts out anything above the top lip)
Shane - (sinister voice) Shane's not here right now.
Josh- (Scared and worried, looks over to Kelly for support) Who is this? Where's Shane?!
Shane - (Still sinister) He's Dead! And I'm coming for you next...Josh.
Josh - (Increasingly scared) This isn't funny, who is this? How do you know my name!?
(Shows full face)
Shane - (laughing) Just messing with you, it's Shane.
Josh - (relieved yet angry) Don't do that ever again!...you had me worried.
(Shane looks out of window onto the crime scene)
Shane - (smugly) Sorry mate, it had to be done.
