Treatment 1 - Emma

Treatment 1 - Emma:

It’s a Friday afternoon and three 17 year old friends, Lola, Elizabeth and Harriet, are in college and discussing their weekend plans. Harriet suggests that they should go camping in a field that she knows of but Elizabeth disagrees and says she has a free house and her parents and neighbors were out of town. They decide they want to go to the house but need another person to make it an even number. Fades into a tone card of “Four girls in a empty house”. Scene fades in to girls looking around the corridor and see Ingrid, an awkward, nerdy, shy girl who the three girls used to bully but are now friends with. Scene cuts to the girls inviting her out and complementing her necklace, she agrees to go and the scene fades to another tone card of “On an unforgettable weekend away”.

     Saturday afternoon comes around and the girls are preparing to go to Elizabeth’s house with blankets and pillows with backpacks on their back, getting into a car. The scene cuts and comes back to a car driving down a road to her house. The scene then cuts again to the girls walking into this house, Ingrid being pushed to the back when they are walking in and the three other girls giggling at her.

The scene then cuts to all the girls sitting around an old coffee table in a living room covered in blankets and sleeping bags with cigarettes and alcohol sitting on the coffee table. The girls are drinking apart from Ingrid who sits with a glass of coke. The girls, mainly Lola, start to force her to drink however she says no and the girls keep telling her to, calling her a geek and no fun. Ingrid then shouts no and gets up and walks away out the room, scene then fades to another tone card of “Karma will always come back around.”

     The scene then cuts to the girls walking along the landing of the house calling out Ingrid. The camera then comes round the front of them and a figure in all black walks behind them into a room opposite, the girls hear it and turn around and Elizabeth says “Did you hear that?”, the scene then cuts to black.

The scene then cuts back to a shot of Lola in the bathroom, looking in the mirror at her hair and makeup. She then opens up the bathroom cabinet to find a glass to get some water. As she closes the cabinet, there is a figure in the background over her shoulder in a balaclava, holding up a hammer. The scene then cuts to black with screaming in the background.

The scene then cuts to Harriet running down a garden to a fence at the end of the garden. The camera shows her running from the front and the figure is walking slowly behind her holding the hammer, which is covered in blood. She then gets to the fence and attempts to climb over, failing and screaming for help. The scene then cuts to Elizabeth holding the killer round the throat pulling of a necklace, the same one Ingrid wore in the start of the trailer. It drops on the floor and the camera zooms in on it, then cuts back to Elizabeth running back into the house while the killer walks after Harriet.

The scene then cuts to Elizabeth standing in a cupboard with the door slightly ajar, looking out into the living room, she has her hand over her mouth trying to control her breathing. A figure then walks past the door holding a hammer, she then tightens her grip on her mouth and the camera turns back to the gap in the door (POV shot). The camera then adjusts slightly and she can see the figure staring at the gap in the door, the figure then runs towards the door while Elizabeth screams. Just before the figure gets there, the scene cuts to black and the title screen shows, the scene then fades into a date with jewelry box music playing in the background.
