The movie begins with an establishing shot of a peaceful lake, the camera then cuts to a closer medium long shot of the lake with the exaggerated noise of surrounding wildlife to express how tranquil the lake is. The serenity is then interrupted by the splashing noise of water and heavy breathing made by Chris. The camera pans left while zooming in to reveal a boy who has emerged from the lake and is crawling on the ground trying to escape something. The camera cuts to extreme close up of Chris and then cuts to a high angled body shot of Chris from behind his back. While this is happening eerie music plays in the background which becomes louder and faster. The next shots are fast paced and of Chris running out of the park. While Chris is running he passes an injured man on the floor who is bloodied and asking for help however Chris being startled carries on running. The next scenes are on dimly lit, deserted streets and Chris is trying to get a signal on his phone, he eventually does and dials 999. The dialogue in this scene is of the operator, "Hello 999 what is your emergency?" and of Chris who says desperately, "Please, please, just listen they're after me again, you've got to..." and then the phone cuts dead the screen fades to black and white noise fills the sound. When screen is faded out the white noise dramatically cuts and there is Chris' voice over which says, "My name is Chris Witten, 17, and this is how I died. The final scene begins with the text "Day 1" on screen, significantly brighter colours and an overhead of Chris in a care home, waking up for college when his alarm goes off. 

Suggested elements:

This horror theme contains music which will make the audience feel a mystery coming to point and intense which i thought would be a good theme to set at the beginning of our storyline sequence because it would give a good effect.
