Treatment 2- First two minutes.

'Don't look behind you'

Opening and summary of the first two minutes:


The first shot shows Beth stood at the french doors in her dinning room, looking terrified as a flashlight is shone through the doors into the house. A close up of her terrified face is shown and the shot devolves. From then on the two minutes are shown in the past returning to present times at various points, as Beth  pieces together the last couple of days when she has felt a presence following her. These shots consist of the door mysteriously been open when she was certain she had locked it,music been played outside her house at night time and the  gut feeling of been followed when she was making her way to the bus stop. The two minutes will end as the flash light disappears. Beth walks out onto the decking terrified to see that nobody's there.

What we aim to do in the first two minutes of the film, is to incite our audience and hook them to want to watch the film. They should feel excited and slightly appreciative wanting to view the whole film. Ideally we want to leave the viewers excited and ready to watch the full film. They should know the genre of the film and be ready to watch the rest of the thriller and be ready to enjoy the physiological thriller.
