Final Pitch (Opening Sequence)

My third and final pitch is similar to pitch 2 but I have changed the location and the events that take place. The beginning is going to be the same but the person following her will not enter the school but will follow her as she walks home. I want it to be obvious that she is being watched. When she leaves the school it will be late and dark. This makes us suspect that something is going to happen because of the tense atmosphere. At the beginning when she talks to her mum on the phone, her mum will be worrying and she will say something along the lines of ‘don’t worry I will be fine’. This creates irony, as we know she will not be fine because of the events that lead up to it, foreshadowing the future events. The title for this opening would be ‘The Unexpected’. I think this title fits well as an unexpected event happens on an ordinary school day. I want to end the filming with the unknown character slowly approaching the young girl. This will leave the audience wanting to know what happens next. At the end I want to show flashbacks. The girl had been receiving threatening texts and phone calls, the texts will also say that she has done something to provoke who ever it could be and that she wont be the only one to suffer for it. I will show that these are memories by showing them in black and white and also adjusting the sounds to make them sound more distant. The texts were not taken seriously and this was a big mistake.
