Storyline

                3 minutes beginning of the film

Set in a dark isolated forest, clearly night time. “Amy” a young adult is seen hiding behind a tree, breathing fast and heavily, looking around her surroundings every 3 seconds looking agitated and fearful, her lip quivering as she unlocks her phone, her hands shaking. A close up of the phone sees her trying to ring her boyfriend, but no one picks up. She now frantically looks around the woodland, an eyeline shot revealing a dark figure in the distance, Amy starts to run. Now running away in hysterics from the figure, Amy is tripping over tree trunks and roots of the trees surrounding her, trying to get away desperately. There are fast cuts of close-ups of her face, long shots of her running towards the camera and the scenery behind her as she keeps looking back. Amy is screaming and heavily breathing as she runs for her life. Amy has cuts on her face where she has ran through bushes, cutting her on her way through. She keeps looking behind her, the camera following her with eyeline shots, showing a dark figure running after her holding ropes and a knife covered with blood. The camera cuts back to a long shot of the girl running, crying as she does so, suddenly she trips over an uprooted tree falling to the floor, she screams with agony the hooded man coming closer to her now walking towards her as she struggles to crawl away, her hand grabbing her thigh, blood pouring out of the wound. The man gets closer as Amy screams for help. The camera is set on the ground, a close up to Amy’s face showing the man behind her, the man grabs Amy’s legs and drags her away from the camera, she screaming and grabbing the ground to try and fight against him, a close up of her engagement ring is seen, the soil covering her hands and face as the camera loses focus gradually going to black.
