(ESTABLISHING SHOT)The streets are dark and damp as the streetlights slowly flicker on, one by one; streets almost deserted and left to be consumed by the shadows. (ZOOMS INTO A MIDSHOT)(TRACK) A woman, headphones on, deafening her from everything else, walks down the street. Before turning the corner, she pulls out her phone from her coat pocket. (HIGH ANGLE SHOT, CLOSE-UP)(STATIC)The text reads; "I'LL BE HOME SOON. MARY x" (LONG SHOT, FLAT ANGLE)(PAN)She puts her phone back in her pocket and starts to walk down the alleyway.
(CLOSE-UP SHOT, HIGH ANGLE)(STEADY CAM)She takes out her ipod and turns the music up to its maximum volume. (BACKING TRACK OF THE MUSIC SHE IS LISTENING TO)She continues to walk down the alleyway. (LONG SHOT, HIGH ANGLE)(STATIC)
(LONG SHOT, FLAT ANGLE)(STEADY CAM)Behind her, a dark figure emerges from the shadows, and the girl is obliviant to this. Girl continues walking, hands in pockets listening to her music. (MUSIC STILL PLAYING OVER FOOTAGE)Eventually the girl stops dead, sensing someone behind her. (EXTREME CLOSE-UP OF HER EYES, FLAT ANGLE)(STATIC)(MUSIC DIES DOWN UNTIL ITS ONLY BARELY HEARD MUFFLED, FROM HER HEADPHONES)
(LONG SHOT, FLAT ANGLE)(BACKWARDS CREEP)The girl turn round slowly and peers behind her. (BIRDS-EYE-VIEW SHOWS SHE IS ALONE)
(MID SHOT, HIGH ANGLE)(PAN)She keeps walking, assuming it was just her imagination, and then halts to a stop again.
(EXTREME CLOSE-UP OF HER EYES, FLAT ANGLE)(STEADY CAM, WOBBLING A LITTLE)(MUSIC HAS DIED OUT COMPLETELY, HER HARSH BREATH IS ALL THATS TO BE HEARD)
(CLOSE-UP OF THE BACK OF THE GIRLS HEAD AND HALF OF THE MASK INFRONT OF HER, LOW ANGLE)(STATIC)She spins around again, and comes face to face with a featureless mask. (SCREAM)
(LONG SHOT, HIGH ANGLE)(TILT DOWN)Girl wakes up suddenly with a scream, and looks around frantically - only to find that she's in her classroom.
(MID SHOT, FLAT ANGLE)(PANS ACROSS TO SEE THE LINE OF STUDENTS LOOKING BACK AT HER)Everyone is looking at her, shocked and confused.
(EXTREME CLOSE UP OF HER EYES)(ZOOMS OUT)(LONG SHOT)
THE END.
