Characters

Lauren Ralph: (Main) Lauren is a popular teenage girl that attends Sutton coldfield College. Lauren is pretty but not the average popular dopey student, there was much more to her than that as she was also very sophisticated and brainy. If there was something that she wanted then she knew what to do to get it. She was loved by few hated by many!

Karl: (Laurens Obssessive Stalker) Karl has had a crush on lauren ever since they were 4 years old and in the same class at primary school. He is very emotional towards lauren whether she is just meantioned in a conversation, he is also very protective over her. Karl thinks that laurens friends and especially her boyfriend dont deserve her. Therefore if Karl cant have her and love her as his own, then no one can.

Kimberly: (Lauren's Best friend) Kimberly and Lauren have been best friends since they were in nursery and maintained that friendship right until college. However Kimberly was not as recognisable as Lauren was. People in college would vow to say that kim was jealous of Lauren. However a photo of Lauren and Kimberlys crush was posted throught kim's door. Could that have been the final straw for kim.

Samantha: (laurens arch-nemisis) Lauren and Samantha have hated each other ever since they could remember. It was even obvious to people completely oblivious to the little 'circle'. They Day before Laurens death Samantha and Lauren encountered in yee old fistycuffs and sam was heard shouting after their fight 'Im going to kill her if its the last thing i do' But would samantha really fulfil this statement of hers?

Our first intentions of the actors were to be :

Lauren will be played by Alisha
Karl will be played by Karl
Kimberly will be played by Armanee
Officer Joels voice will be the voice of Matthew
Duncan will be played by Jatinder
Samantha will be played by Naadhirah

However this didn't go as plan as it was filming in the week of exams so there were a nuimber of issues as to what times to film etc. This was also one of the reasons why we got delayed.
Armanee and I had shot our scenes but we felt that we didn't want to play the parts and would rather help out in directing and filming so we decided to get others to act instead.

So Lauren was played by Sinead (but the pictures were taken of Alisha.)
Samantha was played by Taytum

Kimberly was played by Charlotte.

Main story

The main story;
The main character is a girl called Lauren. She is an up to date girl which all the girls envy and boys want. She gets killed by someone but nobody knows who the mystery person could be.

The opening sequence of the movie shows a teenage girl (Lauren's rival) in an interview regarding Lauren's murder. She claims 'Lauren was a bitch, anyone could have done this to her'.

After this, Laurens dead body in a pool of blood is flashed onto the screen for approx. two seconds. We see her legs with her tights ripped.

These flashes continue to happen with her face too. A flash after that is of Laurens killer in a dark room developing several photographs of Lauren. These were took when she was unaware of them being taken of her.

Then within the few flashes of the killer, we see others getting questioned about her. After this, Karl, her childhood admirer is asked, and he clearly looks shocked and hurt as he says 'How could someone even do this?'

Then we see another shot of someone holding a camera.

The next person to be interviewed is Lauren's ex boyfriend and says she didn't deserve this. Then a shot of Lauren is shown again, with her top ripped.

The fourth to be interviewed was her best friend. She claimed that she only trusted and she's let her down. What could this mean?

Lauren's dead face is then flashed on the screen.

The boy who was crying at the start is shown again - but only his tearful eyes.

Then we see Officer Joel standing up saying 'Whoever has done this was obviously seeking revenge, boy or girl, we don't know yet, but we know that they wanted her dead.'

There's then a shot of the dark room with developing photo's of Lauren. These photo's are of her eating in the cantene, seeing friends, working, and several shots that are taken which she is unaware of.

Then her ex-boyfriend is seen and said 'How could they do this? That is sick. It's crazy'. Then a shot of her full body is shown in the Dark room floor.

Karls mouth is seen open wide. He says 'I was in love with her. How could someone do this?'

After all of these shots, there is a shot of the killer coming out of the dark room which is merged with a shot of the door with a Crime scene Investigation tape stuck onto it. Non-diagetic sound of police sirens will also be heard.

Visible editing is used when the screen fades to black and then it re-appears with a close up of a TV and a live broadcast about the murder. Officer Joel is being interviewed. Shots show that the TV is being watched from the common room in College. Pupils all seemed shocked and start to whisper.

Then there's an announcement that all students must go to the theatre room straight away.

Dates for filming

My group and I hope to start the filming from Wednesday 20th of January onwards.
We will be using 3 different locations. One of which will be the dark room at Sutton coldfield design centre. The other in the media room, as an interview room and a college corridor to shoot the close up shots and long shot of the dead tortured body.
We will aim to shoot the dark room scene on Wednesday 20th January at around 1.45 pm and aim to finish it that day.
We hope to shoot the interviewing scenes Monday 25th of January and finish by the week of February 1st.

However....
We ended up finishing our final scene on Monday 8th February. This was the dark room scene that we ended up deciding to shoot it last.
