2. FADE IN:
INT. HOUSE - DAY
There’s a TV inside a room that suddenly turns on with a
static signal on the screen. The room is medium size and
is comfortable. The TV is speaking but the words are cut
up like the signal is breaking you hear this off screen.
JEV 18 comes from the kitchen of the room and sits down
at his sofa to watch his TV.
JEV
Why is my TV on already? Hello is
anyone here?
The TV turns from being static on the screen to a warp
transition and flickers the static signal on again.
JEV
Huh? What's going on here?
Some person with long hair covering their face and
wearing a long white dress appears on the TV getting
behind the tree setting up for a jump scare.
JEV moves his position on the sofa and gets comfortable.
The TV turns on fully and shows the tree with a grassy
ground and there's nothing happening but the TV will have
a black and green filter over the top of the footage on
the TV.
JEV
How are you coming out of the TV?
The camera shows a close up of the TV and the TV is
showing the static image of a tree and the grassy ground
that's in black and white.
A woman with the long white dress and long hair covering
their eyes is peeking from behind the tree to scare JEV.
JEV questions what is happening with the TV.
JEV
Stay away from me, GET AWAY!!
The woman comes out the TV and comes closer towards Jev.
JEV
*Screams gasping for air*

3. 2.
Jev wakes up from the Nightmare that was happening with
the TV and the woman and the phone starts to ring loudly.
JEV
(Nervously)
Oh my god it was only a nightmare
what is going on inside my head?
Jev checks the TV and tries to turn it on but it doesn’t
work.
Jev gets up and walks towards the phone and picks it up
to speak to some unknown number.
THE CAMERA CLOSE UP OF THE TV, THE TV GETS STUCK ON A
FRAME OF A PROGRAMME THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY ON THE SCREEN.
The batteries out of the TV remote had fallen on the
floor without JEV knowing.
THE CAMERA SHOWS A CLOSE UP OF THE BATTERIES ON THE
FLOOR.
THE CAMERA DOES A CLOSE UP ON THE PHONE RINGING IN A FEW
DIFFERENT ANGLES TILTED SLIGHTLY EACH TIME.
Each camera angle moves closer to the phone and tilts
slightly.
As it does that the strings from Psycho starts to play
from the shower scene.
JEV doesn’t expect a call because people normally remind
him when they are going to ring when they do call him.
JEV picks up the phone and says hello.
JEV
(On the phone)
Who is this? Hello? JOHN?
JOHN is JEV’S best friend and goes out a lot with JEV
they are like two peas in a pod but have only knew each
other for one year.
MYSTERIOUS PERSON
(Over the phone)
Hello what’s your favourite scary
movie?
JEV
(On the phone)
Who is this and what do you want
I've seen this type of situation
before!

4. 3.
MYSTERIOUS PERSON
(Over the phone)
That’s not a movie I wonder what
your feeling inside after that
long nap of yours.
JEV
(On the phone)
How'd you know I was asleep and
what do you mean you want to know
how I'm feeling, I’m terrified.
Who is this before I call the
police?
MYSTERIOUS PERSON
(Over the phone)
Call the police and that will be
the last thing you do.
JEV is curious at this point he doesn’t know this person
and he thinks about other movies his seen so he can come
to a conclusion.
JEV
(On the phone)
Tell me who this is now else I’ll
call the police!
The MYSTERIOUS PERSON over the phone sits on the call
quietly with no sound coming from JEV’S phone what so
ever so JEV impatiently huffs.
The call hangs up after JEV huffs.
JEV
Time to call the cops!
JEV is trying to call the cops and he fails because the
phone lines went down Jevs other phone rings.
JEV picks up the phone and says…
JEV
(On the phone)
I swear if this is the same person
from earlier…
JEVS words get cut out because the person over the phone
interrupts him while he is saying a line.
MYSTERIOUS PERSON
(Over the phone)
(Whispering)
What have you done?

5. 4.
The person on the phone starts to go quiet.
JEV
Huh? Okay.
The police go past Jevs house the killers silhouette gets
shown but not his face.
JEV
Finally the police I wonder who
called them if I couldn’t
JEV heads towards the door to escape his building but the
killer comes behind him as he tries to open the door.
FADE OUT.
JEV
Open up! Help!!
The screen will fade out and the killers weapon will come
out and make a sound.
