Scenario for 'Neurosis'



Neurosis

(Film opens with a fade into the back of a man leaning over a desk, his head bowed. He's looking at a multitude of photographs that are scattered on the desk in front of him; these are all photographs of his sister. She is missing. There are photographs of her at social events, with friends and family. The man brushes aside a photograph to reveal a missing poster. There are also photos of police evidence, such as footprint and blood splatters, amongst the mess. The man's face is scruffy and he is unwashed. His eyes are red and there are bags underneath them. His eyes dart rapidly back and forth over the photographs before he slumps into a chair)

(The scene opens in a dirty garage. There is a single light hanging from the ceiling. There are a vast array of objects in the garage, from saws and tools, to old broken dolls and ladders. A hose drips water into a puddle ominously. A girl is lying on the floor in the garage, wearing an old tattered shirt and ripped, bloodstained trousers. Her eyes slowly open and she takes a few seconds to fully regain consciousness. Once she's awake, she turns her head to try and make sense of where she is before slowly attempting to get up.)

Girl: GAH! (clutches her stomach in agony and stumbles to the floor once again. Breathing heavily, she uses a nearby shelf to hoist herself up) *noise of pain* 

(She manages to stand up with the help of the shelf. She clutches her stomach once more and lifts her shirt to reveal a dirty infected wound on her abdomen. She cries out in shock, stepping back and kicking some paint cans as the door to the garage flies open.)

  1. You've done a huge amount on your blog, with some excellent, very detailed research and analysis. Do make sure you augment this with similarly detailed planning (storyboards, shotlists, location scouting etc. - see my blog for details).
