2. Our Thriller Opening
A girl is walking home and is texting her friends. There a
lot of cross cutting to a man rummaging through a
house looking for something. Girl then comes home at
night to find that her house has been broken into.
However, nothing is stolen, and it appears that
somebody is looking for something specific. In despair,
she rings her dad and he asks “Are you sure that there’s
nobody in the house?” As she says no, someone
appears behind her in the background. A loud bang
alarms the woman, so she hangs up the phone and
hides in a cupboard while the person in the house
begins to look for her. Her dad rings back, giving away
her position. The girl sees the mans face walking
towards through the crack in the door. The scene ends
with her screaming.
