Script – screenplay

Starts in the forest on a Friday night and it’s dark and creepy

Girl is screaming and running away from something. She is panting heavily and running as fast as she can. Someone is running after her.

Still outside we see her stop and she is panting heavily and then everything goes quiet. Just as she is about to turn around we see a hand cover her mouth and she screams.  (when editing: add in title sequence with some creepy background music).

The next scene is then at the school. There are a group of teenagers quietly discussing something in the corner of the canteen.

Lily: I haven’t seen her since Friday afternoon when I dropped her off at home. She mentioned something about going on a date with some guy.

 Josh: Has anyone heard from her since then?

Ryan: No, she seemed a bit conflicted when I last saw her; like something was definitely wrong, she just didn’t want to tell me.

Josh: When was this?

Ryan: Friday afternoon.

They all look at each other, confused about what is happening and their thoughts.

(Detective Atkinson and some officers walk through the canteen up towards the teenagers in the corner)

Atkinson: Hello, I’m Detective Atkinson, I’m working on a new case. I need to speak to you all separately so please can you follow me.

(They follow the detective to the room and they each wait outside for their turn to be questioned)

Josh: I haven’t seen her since Friday morning.

Ryan:  She seemed conflicted.

Lily: She was meeting some guy.

Atkinson: hmmm (in deep thought)

Skips back to the beginning scene.
