The plot
The plot of are film will start with the camera looking towards a house where it will then
zoom into the house where the main character Sam will be standing staring at a wall full of
photos and newspaper articles of his missing sister. He will then leave his bedroom and walk
down the stairs where his house will be empty. He then opens the door to go outside where
his phone starts to ring. He answers it and it is his friend Beth Who asks him if he is okay and
whether he is looking for His sister. He says he is fine and that he is not going out to look for
her but is going to right then which shows he is lying as he feels guilty.
He walks in the park where he holds onto the last remaining part of his sister he has left her
favourite place to go. He will walk into the park slowly and into the play area where the
memories flash back and forth through his head. The shot will zoom out to the vast open
land of the in the park and zoom back to a mid-shot of Sam, looking depressed and scared
for his sisters life.
The shot will then be cut back into his house where the TV will be on and as he walks up the
stairs it will say “there are not reports on the missing girl from east Birmingham and we fear
the worst for their families”. In his room he will turn his TV, where the new report will say
“There has been reports of another missing person in the local area of east Birmingham and
the two cases may be linked, police are pursuing a black car which witnesses say is the car
that took the 5 year old boy”. Sam then realises that the cases must be linked.
As he leaves his house again Sam noticed a dark shaded car, just as two men was driving
past Sam’s house staring directly at him. This began to make Sam suspicious of them so he
decided to follow them. The two men got out of the car outside a house very close to where
Sam lives. Later that night Sam goes out again to the house where the men had gone into.
He breaks in around the back as the house seemed empty. Sam searches the house to find

nothing and just as he is about to leave the car pulls up outside. He hides in the closet, when
suddenly a woman opens the door and screams the two men rush inside and push Sam to
the floor and ask him what he is doing. Sam explained everything. The house he broke into
was the house of the family who lost their son as well just like Sam lost his sister.
There was a big misunderstanding so the family let Sam go on his way. As Sam walks home
in the night he notices a man walking on the other side of the road. As the man starts to
walk away he laughs to himself softly. Sam already angry decides to chase after him but
could not find him until in the distance through a tree line he sees a lone house where the
man walks in and closes the door. Sam then runs up to the door and starts banging on the
door. The door opens the man stares at Sam and says “get lost” in a raging voice, where in
the back ground Sam hears screams. He immediately pushes the door into the man and
begins to shout hollies name. As he enters the house the noise had come from upstairs and
as Sam ran up the stairs it got louder and louder until he reaches a door with a lock. He
begins to kick the door down until the door crashes down, where he finds hollie and the
other boy scared to death. As this was happening the kidnapper had ran up the stairs and
pulled Sam back. The man then went to punch him; Sam ducked away and pushed the
kidnapper back he then fell pulling Sam with him, down the stairs. The screen then goes
black and then with the point of view shot you see Sam’s eyes opening and shutting with a
hospital sound droned in the background.
The scene opens up again with Sam lying in a hospital bed with a bandaged head where he
sees hollie and his parents in the window. Sam smiles.
The end.
