Story Board Treatment - Version 1

(Long camera shot - shows the girls walking towards the gate - front on)It was a normal sunny afternoon at St Hilda’s School and three friends walked towards the bus stop talking excitedly about what they were doing on the weekend.
(Close up on Jane) “Jack and I are going to spend all of Saturday at Movieworld and then on Sunday I’m going to the movies with my family,” Jane giggled with enthusiasm.
(Close up on Anne) “Really? I’m just hanging at home and catching up on my reading,” Anne said as she adjusted her glasses. Emily scoffed at Anne’s comment before she froze.
(Close up on Emily) “I forgot my English book! I’ll be right back!” Emily yelled as she spun around and bolted towards the top left classroom in Davenport (Long shot - shows Jane and Anne standing there while Emily runs off). Emily runs up the stairs by skipping two stairs at a time. She runs into the classroom and opens the cupboard door. (Medium length shot slightly tinted upwards) She bent down and opened at bag before she grinned.
“Got it,” she said happily. (Long shot to her side) She kicks the bag back into the cupboard and closes the door. (Front on view - goes from a long shot to a medium shot) She turns around as her eyes widened in fear and all sound/music stop. Her piercing scream is heard for a short moment before she is stricken down with a knife. (Medium shot tinted upwards so it only shows the top half of the murderer striking the in again and again) The murderer kept stabbing and stabbing her until the body was only just recognisable (The attendance will not see the murder stab her, they will see the murder striking something and the sounds that are happening). The murderer stood up before they (Behind the murderer - long shot) opened the cupboard door and kicked the body into the cupboard. The murderer turns around and walks towards the camera (camera zooms into until it goes black).
(Medium view of Jane - her upper body with her arms crossed)“Emily sure is taking her sweet time,” Jane said as she looked over at Anne (Pans upwards from Anne’s feet to her face) who was leaning against one of the brick poles.
“She sure is...let’s go get her,” Anne said with a long sigh. (Long shot - backs of Jane and Anne) Jane and Anne make their way towards the Davenport classrooms.
(Medium shot - shows Jane talking to Anne at the bottom of the Davenport stairs)“I’ll go check the classroom where she has maths, you check her classroom,” Jane ordered. Anne nodded and walks away. Jane slowly walked up the stairs and into the Emily’s classroom.
(Medium shot) “Hey Em, you here?” Jane asked bored.
“I’ll take that as a no,” Jane turned around and a knife strikes her. She hits the ground and all the viewer can see is the knife being struck down again and again (Switches between scenes of the body moving from the force of the blows to the murderer striking).
(Switches from the murderer to Anne then back to the murderer)“Hey Jane, did you find her,” Anne yelled as she walked towards the classroom. (Long shot - never shows the body)The murderer quickly tosses the body into the cupboard and dashes out of the classroom. (Long shot)Anne walks into the classroom and doesn’t see anyone. She turns around and walks out of the classroom. Standing at the other end of the hallway is the murderer (Long shot - Anne doesn’t know).
“Excuse me sir, have you seen two girls around here?” Anne asked. (Long shot of the murderer)The murderer slowly walks towards her and Anne doesn’t move. Anne noticed something (Close up) red fall from their hand and she looks at their hand. (Close up of Anne’s face)She sees the bloody knife and she steps back (Long shot). The murderer rans towards her (Medium shot) with the knife raised. (Close up)Anne screams but it’s muted.
(Medium shot) Anne sat up in her bed and gasped loudly. (Pans out as she looks around) She frantically looks around her room before she sighs.
“It was just a dream,” she said happily as she picked up her phone and started texting. (Pans across the room - so the viewer is looking into the room) However, unknown to Anne, (Close up on a hand with a bloody knife - Anne can be seen in the background texting in her bed) their was someone at her bedroom door.
(Goes to black and a scream is heard)
