Film Plan (Opening)

• Opens with clock (and cuts to washing hands?)
• Long shot/mid shot of her entering the kitchen and the camera zooms out to centre on the knife on the counter which the girl is looking at
• Sound editing starts
• Quick cut to holding the knife with red lighting then back again
• Voice over of her thoughts to explain that she has to move it to the middle because its dangerous on the side, but you can tell she doesn’t want to touch it
• Slowly moves towards the knife and the sounds get slightly louder
• Cuts to close up of holding the knife in the corridor with red lighting. Starts to walk into the lounge slowly and the sound editing has uncomfortable noises. Occasionally hearing the voice over of the girls thoughts trying to stop it which causes slight ‘glitches’. Speed up walking into the lounge as the camera follows and she raises the knife and there’s screaming
• Back to kitchen where she is leaning on the counter (not next to the knife) She is saying stop out loud and the sound continues but quitter with occasional screaming
• Dialogue of her convincing herself she just has to move it
• Camera cuts to her doing so and the sound editing comes in again briefly
• Constant quiet sound in the background
• She goes to wash her hands again and when she’s done she shakes her hands dry four times and uses a piece of kitchen roll and uses it when opening the things around the kitchen to make breakfast. The camera follows her doing so
• Once the cereal is made the camera zooms in on her picking up each spoon and examining them with a close up of the one that she picks put
• Walks in to the lounge and taps the spoon four times before eating (close up) and the mum asks if she’s okay
• Cuts to her finishing getting change upstairs hen cuts to her walking out into the front of the house from upstairs with a bag
• Mum goes to hug goodbye but she just gives a thumbs up and waves four times
• Camera stays with the mum and we see her expression. The camera lingers before following behind her until she goes into and shuts the bedroom door.
