My idea for Group N's opening sequence

Shot Number 1: On screen text stating 'On December 19th, a girl was home alone. At 11:32, the harrassment began'.

Shot Number 2: Sound of current R&B song playing in the backgroud as it is a stereotypical music for teenagers. A sleepover is taking place, without the presence of parents, at the home of the protagonist. However she explains to her friends that she is beginning to feel poorly.

Shot Number 3: Friends decided that she should call it a night and they will leave a reschedule this arrangement for a later date.

Shot Number 4: The friends leave, and the girl decides to take a painkiller with a glass of water. She makes sure the taps are closed, the TV is switched off, the doors are locked.

Shot Number 5: The girl walks upstairs and tucks herself into bed. However there is a sound of indistinct TV in the background. She goes downstairs, only to see the news turned on, stating how a teenage girl had been harrassed whilst home alone, and the event resulted in death.

Shot Number 6: The girl becomes anxious, however turns off the TV and makes her way upstairs. At that moment the telephone rings.
Girl: Hello
Stranger: I can see you
Girl: Excuse me?
Stranger: Im in the garden, wnat to play hide and seek?
Girl immediately puts down the phone in panic.

Shot Number 7: The audience sees a shot of a man thats identity is hidden, walking down the path towards the back door. Frantic girl rushes towards the door to make sure the doors are locked. The stranger has disappeared from the garden.

Shot Number 8: A blank screen is shown. The audience can hear persistent ringing of the doorbell, TV and radio turned on, alarm sets off and all taps are opened.

Shot Number 9: Girl becomes paranoid and intensely distressed. She screams for help, followed by a creaking door opening (by the intruder).

Shot Number 10: Girl immediately hides under bed.

Shot Number 11: Blank screen. Diegetic sound of girls hearbeat amplified and irregular breathing.

Shot Number 12: Stranger: I can see you

Shot Number 13: Blank screen. Sound of progressive footsteps becoming louder and louder, this creates tension. Suddenly the sound stops, all the viewers can hear is silence.

Shot Number 14: The ending shot is of sirens from several ambulances and police cars. This is followed by the stranger repeating his tag line to the audience: I can see you.
