idea and synopsis and treatment on opening:

My idea of an opening of a film
A Girl wakes up in her mate’s bed, her hands covered in blood she looks around clueless as she doesn’t know why she’s there and doesn’t remember anything from last night. As she sits up she reaches and has a drink of water as her throat and mouth is dry as she had been drinking a lot the night before. She starts to panic and her bag is next to her so she starts to rummage around in it trying to look for her phone so she can call someone saying to her self “fuck”. As she is stressed because she has no idea what has happened she covers her face with her hands realising that her face is very painful when she touches it. She slowly walks to the mirror still covering her face, breathing heavily and hands start shaking. As her face is stinging and she is in more pain because she’s touched it. Breathing even more heavily as she starts saying to her self repeatedly “please no please no please no” When she removes her hands whiles looking at her face she screams and starts crying.

Then this is where the flashbacks begin, the first one showing you someone ruining her face, punching and slicing with a hand knife. This is showed using effects so it looks like each time she is getting punched it looks like the screen is flashing this would add an tense feel to it when the audience is watching. Also when filming this, the camera will be held by someone and it will make it look like one of the characters from the film is filming it. It’ll be filmed shaky to make the shot strange, odd and will show how the girl is distressed and is helpless. This is important that this is shown to the audience from this flashback shot as later on in the film the tape is found by the girl and this is how she finds out who has done this to her and why. The story is carried from here using a variety of flash backs and leaves the audience on the edge not know what has happening, so the audience will be thinking what has happened? Who did this to her? Why did this happen to her? Is she going to find out? Is she the good or bad character?  

The girl character in the opening scene will have long blonde hair, a lot of make up which is smudged and will be wearing a short black dress. This may show to the audience that she is the eye candy to the film, people love her because of he looks and this is shown later in the story as other characters are jealous of her because of how beautiful she is. This could also show the character that she worries about the way she looks and dresses like that to show of, maybe scene later as she is shown to be a flirt and tries to impress the boys from the way she looks. It is important that she is dressed like this as it gives the audience a feel to her character even before the film has started so they can judge the way she is just by what she is wearing.
