1) A woman takes a lift down to the bottom floor of an office building where strange things have been happening. 2) While in the lift, the power cuts out and a voice says "it's play time" before a man bursts through the roof and stabs her repeatedly. 3) The treatment discusses using the confined space of a lift to enhance tension and claustrophobia as the scene unfolds.

1. ‘ Lift’ Grippin, trippin,and drippin!

2. Story hint… Strange things have been happening in the office. A woman walks down corridor to her victims death. The film is based around ‘death in a lift’ and shows the build up and tension of her walking to the lift. This subverts the stereotype of the man being the killer.

3. Beginning of treatment… The woman is reviled by a tracking/ tilting shot so u get a shot of her whole body. Then she gets into the lift and starts to descend down to the bottom floor. Within a trice there is a power cut, and the emergency lights come on. There is a moment of panic, she scrambles to the help button and presses it. A voice comes on and says in a weird voice ‘its play time’. You hear scratches and foot steps and then a man bursts through roof and stabs her many times. Blood everywhere. Lift gets to bottom and opens no one in there, but there is a lot of blood.

4. Locations… Dining room lift because it is small and enhances the effect of claustrophobia. Dining room lift, buttons, close up of buttons because it creates more tension in the scene

5. Visual themes and styles… This is one of the shots I am going to have in my thriller. It is a high angle shot which shows the vulnerability of him in the lift. It almost make the audience feel that their in the lift. Below is the woman who is going to be the killer in my Thriller, and the man who is going to be the victim. The woman is going to be dressed in white to show her innocents, however this is subverted by her holding a knife. The man is in a suit because it signifies that he is a working man and he is going to be going home at the end of the day.
