- Suicide
- Arguments with family
- Family loss
- Arguments with girlfriend/ boyfriend
- Violence/ abuse
- Stalking
- Bullying
- Murder
In the end, we decided to go for the theme of suicide as it is unique and although it may seem more unconventionally thriller due to its dark and grim meaning that would usually be featured in a horror film, it allowed us to represent both genders of character and avoid the common stalker/ killer combination the audience would expect to see.
Screen play
Scene 1
A teenage girl is in the living room, watching television and she receives a text from an unknown number saying "You'd be better of dead". She grabs her work keys, runs out the house, slamming the front door on her way out.
Meanwhile, her boyfriend is making tea in the kitchen. He asks her if she wants any and hears no reply, he then hears the door shut and asks her who it was. He quickly leaves, now realizing she has gone.
TRANSITION SCENE: Girl running down the road
Scene 2
The teenage girl walks into a large office building. She swipes her keys and continues walking until she enters the elevator. In the elevator, she sits in the corner covering her face, crying. She then continues walking towards the balcony when she has exited the elevator.
When she reaches the edge, she looks over and it is clear to the audience that she is considering jumping. Her boyfriend then enters the scene at the balcony and there is brief dialogue when her boyfriend attempts to talk her out of committing suicide but he is unsuccessful.
Scene 3
The screen goes dark. Voice over of the boyfriend ringing 999, where a brief conversation with the emergency services is included. Quick flashes of the dead body covered in blood are shown.
