1. ‘Obsession’ – Web Series Script
EPISODE 1
John Doe - His P.O.V. is in black and white except everything he is obsessed with. E.g.
the roses that he buys her are red. However to everyone else they are dead and
decrepit. However when we changed perspectives it is all in colour and the roses
are now dead and wilted – everything in the killer’s world is in black and white
except the images of the girls and the things that he sees beauty in. – as the episode
progresses and she rejects him, his gestures become more and more angry.
Opening scene:
JOHN DOE’S ROOM
Establishing shot of the killer; John Doe staring at a wall of images pinned on a
board. His back is facing the camera producing a dark silhouette around his
figure– only source of light coming from board full of he’s victims and the source
of his obsession (some crossed out in red and some not – images created using
green screen.)
Picks up a photo, which is not crossed out and touches the girls (Kaitlyn’s) face
creepily. (All from John Doe’s P.O.V.)
Scene 1:
RURAL FARMLAND PATHWAY
Kaitlyn is walking home and we use a long shot to show that he is merely
watching her as she walks and laughs with her friends.
Scene 2:
RURAL FARMLAND PATHWAY – CONTINUED -
Kaitlyn splits up with friends, she continues on walking – she begins to get
nervous as she feels as if someone’s watching her – she hears a branch snap, she
jumps and her movements become more erratic – she quickens her pace home.
Scene 3:
KAITLYN’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM
Later in the evening she is on her computer with her back and the screen is
facing the French door windows – she catches the killers reflection in the
computer screen and freezes – she slowly turns round only to see nothing
through the window – at the same time the door bell goes and the girl jumps –
KAITLYN
Screams…
- She shakes her head and mumbles about being silly and tired.

image of the girl, his body and posture seeming to relax again (the anger draining
out) as a creepy calmness comes across him.

intimately embraced, sitting on the sofa with her hands around his neck laughing
with each other. (This is the stressor)

the windows (The glass fogs up). The scene before his eyes angers him and
causes a light bulb to explode.
