       Action
  1. We will film Sam walking around the streets in the city in an isolated area to suggest his daily life and that he is unsettled.

  1. We will then alternate to him sitting in an underpass where there is graffiti and litter which suggests that he is then homeless. This will then familiarise the audience with his situation. A sound bridge will begin of a female whistling which then turns out to be the murderer later on.

  1. We then alternate back to Sam walking.

  1. Then an ellipsis will occur where it is now night time and Sam is settling in an isolated shed area.

  1. Norma – the murderer – will then walk in near to where Sam is and a low angle will be used at her feet whilst she is walking like in the opening to ‘Kill Bill’ to suggest how ruthless and powerful she is.

  1. We then use the shadows to imply that she is murdering someone and a scream will be heard.

  1. Norma is about to drag away the body to hide them.

  1. Sam then makes a gasp sound which alerts Norma, exposing where Sam is.

  1. A close-up of Norma’s face will be used to suggest that she is looking directly at Sam.


  1.  A rule of thirds shot will be used to show Sam in front of the wooden planks with his back to Norma, and Norma behind the wooden planks looking directly at Sam. The cliff-hanger is then whether or not Sam escapes.
