Storyline - Pitch for film

Stalker Storyline:

The basic storyline for our thriller is an obsession a man has over a girl. He follows her every move until he knows everything there is to know about her ; where she lives,where she works, where she attends school, who her friends are, her hobbies and her everyday routine. Yet for a long while she is oblivious and only has a suspicion however never brings forward her suspicions as she believes she is just being paranoid.

It opens with the anonymous stalker sat looking at photographs he has took, of his victim over a period of time; these images contained her partying with her friends, attending to and from work, her entering and leaving her house and images she had uploaded onto social network sites, whilst also documenting her life in his diary keeping track of events that occur in her life over a period of time. However the audience will never know why the anonymous character had chosen this girl in particular and also you will never know how she was taken, leaving the audience in suspense and building tension, which a thriller is stereotypically designed for.

This then cuts to his victim; a young girl. Which clearly shows she has been held hostage by him for a while due to her clothing and her messy appearance and the cuts and bruises that are clearly shown on her body, representing the struggle she has experienced whilst trying to escape, as she is not their out of choice. She also has cuts and bruises, showing the anonymous stalkers obsession is abusive showing signs from his psychological mind.

The audience will be aware that the young girl in the pictures is the girl he has now kept hostage as further on it will show the pictures close up, so the audience can identify her. The wall will also will have images hung on the wall of another young girl who's identity is unknown, warning the audience that this may be his next victim, but also awares the audience that his victims are always females. Also, the mysterious character has a condition called OCD, therefore the story line will show this by showing how his house is kept such as; in his kitchen nothing will be out of place, showing he is an obsessive character who strives for perfection and when things don't go his way it starts to infuriate him. However, the room that he uses to keep the young girl hostage will not be neat and tidy; this juxtaposition shows how he neglects the young girl due to the way she is treated.

The young girl then starts to object to the rules he is making therefore the  consequences she has to suffer worsen over time until she pushes him to his max, which leads her to her death. However the story will end on a cliff hanger as the audience will never see whether her life was actually ended as the ending ends with a close up of a pool of blood, which the audience will assume is the young girls. However this may not be the case the young girl may have escaped and attacked the anonymous character, but this will be left to the audiences imagination.
