Initial Ideas

I based the initial idea of the film below on my own observations, I volunteer at a high school, and noticed that bullying is still a big problem, which is only made a bigger problem through cyber bullying. I focused my idea on how cyber bullying is not only used to hurt people on-line, but how it leads people to believe that the person on the other end is their friend, when some of the time, they are luring you into something. Below is the brief synopsis for my film idea. Brief Synopsis Starts with a young girl sat in her room, using her laptop. She’s looking on the internet, when a notification pops up on Facebook. The young girl quickly clicks on the tab, her face turning from a frown to a smile. She has an invite to a party happening that night. The girl quickly replies saying that she’ll be there, and takes down the address. She shuts down her laptop and runs to the bathroom to take a shower. Cuts to the girl leaving her house hours later, dressed and ready for a party, she gets in her car and sets of to the party. Shows you the girl driving to the party all excited, narrative of her talking about how excited she is to have been invited to this party. Glad that she has finally made it into the group, and that people are noticing her. She pulls up at the party, looks pretty empty from the outside. Gets out of her car and goes to knock on the door, the door is answered by another girl, also dressed up and smiling. Allows the young girl to enter the house, she see’s that it’s full of people that she doesn’t know, but carries on walking in anyway. Girl starts drinking, but isn’t drinking alcohol as she is driving. She goes upstairs leaving her drink on the side, uncovered. We see a hand enter the screen, pouring some form of powder into the glass, before leaving the screen again. The powder mixes into the drink, the girl arriving back picking up her glass and taking a sip. Doesn’t have an effect at first, shot starts to distort, making things shake around the room as it spins around the girl, everyone is looking at her, and just before she falls a boy comes up behind her and catches her. Girl wakes up, doesn’t know where she is, finds herself trapped in a room, before she looks down and notices that her clothes are ripped. See’s a note on the table beside her, “Tell anyone and your dead”, with her car keys placed next to it. There is also a change of clothes on the edge of the bed, folded up neatly; the girl looks at her clothes, then back at the ones on the bed, before grabbing them and changing. She grabs her keys, runs out of the door and into her car, crying as she starts the engine and drives away, without taking a second look back.
