The Watcher: By Kirsty Griffiths.



The Watcher
Genre: Horror

Beginning
In the beginning of the film it shows a young girl, running away from something through a dark wood. The camera shows lots of different shots of her running to create tension. The tempo of her breathing increases dramatically as she is out of breath from running. The camera shows the girl hiding from something behind a tree and frantically trying to dial on her phone. Her phone has no signal. The camera fades to black again and shows the director of the film. Suddenly, a strange dark figure towered the helpless woman as she screamed in fear. The camera fades back and the girl is lying on the floor, dead. A title shot flashes on the screen in red and black as a drone sound increases.

Middle
In the middle of the film a woman, called Lucy, is driving through the countryside to visit her friend from school, Helen. She is going to spend a few weeks with Helen in a log cabin in the woods through the summer. Lucy is meeting Helen’s husband, Daniel, for the first time and is extremely excited. She is observing the beautiful nature as she drives a long the rocky road to the log cabin. The camera fades to black and shows a name of an actor/actress who is starring in the film. But suddenly, the woman’s face drops dramatically as a strange man unintentionally fell into the road. The camera fades to black a shows another name of an actor/actress who is starring in the film. The brakes of the woman’s car started to shriek as she slammed on the brakes. The camera fades to black and shows the name of the director of the film. A close up of woman’s face defined horror as she slowly stepped out of the car and watched the deep, red blood poor from the strange man’s head. The woman burst out crying in panic. The screen fades to black and shows the names of actors/actresses who are starring in the film. The camera then shows a close up of Lucy’s phone as she is typing 999 in her phone very slowly. The phone rings once, then the camera fades to black, and shows the name of the writer of the film, then the phone rings again and the screen fades to black again to show the name of the other important people in the film. Lucy thinks she sees somebody creeping through the woods and stops crying and looks around rapidly to see if anyone saw her murdering the strange man. The ringing stops. Music starts at a slow tempo. The camera fades back and shows Lucy quickly dragging the body in the back of the car and slamming the car boot. Lucy starts driving dangerously towards a dark, mysterious wood. The camera then pans across the floor to show the blood from where Lucy has dragged the strange man into the woods. Lucy sits in her car and her breathing is emphasise in the audio. The music tempo increases. The camera shows a long shot of the woman driving through a bendy lane towards the log cabin where she is staying with her friend. She arrives towards the log cabin and is greeted by her delirious friend, Helen. 

End
At the end of the film, Helen says to the woman that Daniel won’t be long as he just left to the shop to buy some wine for them all. The woman slowly takes her shoes off as the dirt falls onto the dull, red carpet. The woman walks to the bathroom when Helen takes her bags of her to put in her temporary room for the summer. The woman stairs at herself in the foggy mirror and notices a picture of a strange man in the background. The woman turns in shock to observe the picture and realises that she just murdered Helen’s husband. The woman believes she has two choices: run away now, or kill Helen too before she finds out. The woman smashed the mirror and snatched a large piece of glass and opened the bathroom door slowly. Helen was standing in the kitchen facing out of the window speaking to the woman as if nothing was wrong. The woman steadily creeped up on Helen as she blatantly ignored the fact that the woman wasn’t replying in the conversation. The woman clenched the piece of glass, took a deep breath, and swung her arm towards her neck. The camera turns instantly black as a large bang alarms Helen. The camera fades back from black and shows the woman lying on the floor with a high angle shot of a strange black figure in the background. Helens savour. The unknown savour approached Lucy’s body and creepily smiled. He said ‘I watched you sin, so I have to watch you die as I am The Watcher’.
