INITIAL IDEAS

Idea 1- It's a warm summers night at a party in the woods, with music and alcohol. One boy stands out, popular and enjoying himself with his friends, talking about a boy at school with them that just got arrested after attacking someone. We see the boy take a drug and slowly go in and out of consciousness, stumbling around and eventually going off on his own towards a bridge and setting himself down with a bottle of beer to calm himself. We see shots from someone else's point of view, watching the party and the people within it, and then following the protagonist as he walks away, hiding within the trees. He walks towards the boy and the boy starts speaking to him, obviously knowing who he is. The stalker picks up a piece of wood and hits the boy around the head, him then falling to the floor. Cut back to the party, and a splash is heard, people then running over to the bridge to see the body face down in the water.



Idea 2- -The film opens with a party with lots of people, alcohol, lights, music and drugs.We focus on a particular young man who is clearly popular, hanging out with his friends; unaware of the hooded figure sat alone nearby, watching his every move. The young man exits and walks out onto the street, looking around to check he is alone.He continues walking on through the dark streets until he meets another man with whom he exchanges a package.The exchange man takes out his phone and sends a text, and it is only when we cut back to the party to show the hooded man , that we realise the text is to him. It reads 'ITS DONE', and at receiving this text he leaves the party and catches up with the young man, following him.The young man stops, and as he does so the hooded figure approaches and brings out a knife. The hooded figure stabs him in the stomach.He falls to the ground and dies, and the hooded figure takes the package from next to his body.
