FADE OUT:

INT – WOODLAND – KILLER’S SHED - MIDDAY/EVENING

Panning shot of the shed and woodland area.

(WIND NOISES)

CUT TO INT – INSIDE KILLER’S SHED

Pan around the shed to see a girl desperate trying to get out of her rope restriction.

                           CUT TO BOTTOM OF AN OLD TABLE:

Panning upwards shot of killer at an old table, on the table there are hammers and a knife covered in blood. There is also a book – a photo album.

               OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT / POINT OF VIEW:

Watching his gloved hands flick through the photo album that has previous girls he has killed in it – pictures of dolled up women.

                                 CUT TO DOOR SLAMMING:

                                    CUT TO THE FIGURE:

Figure turns around, looks at the door, but never shows any features that would make it visible who it is.

 

           INT – WOODLAND           JUMP CUT:  

Pan up of girl in the woods, showing full dolls outfit and make-up. She is standing looking around, out of breath. Girl hears noise behind her and starts running.                     MID SHOT OF GIRL

GIRL - dressed in dolls outfit, looks innocent and young, also looks scared.

                                CUT TO FEET RUNNING:

See her stepping on leaves (CRUNCHING LEAVES SOUND EFFECT) and hear her breathing deeply (SHORT BREATHS SOUND EFFECT). Another sound effect may be the sound of her heartbeat, this gives suspense.

SPEAKING BEGINS

GIRL: (hears footsteps behind her, whips head round, looking scared)
      PLEASE! LEAVE ME ALONE! WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!

 *no reply*

Girl turns and starts to run again, starting to cry. She runs (past camera) and in the background of the trees, we see the hooded figure.

CUT:

Pan upwards of the figure, holding knife, before we get to the face, he moves in chase of the girl.
                 
                     POINT OF VIEW SHOT:

As if in the girl's point of view, running through the woods, also another point of view shot from the killer chasing the girl (seeing the girl from behind running in the same direction)

CUT BACK TO THE GIRL:

Girl has stopped and is looking around frantically, zoom into her face, the fear present in her eyes.

Suddenly a black gloved hand grabs the round the mouth of the girl, (SOFT SCREAMING)

CUT TO BLACK:
