Outline of narrative of film
The film is located in a local school in England. The school is quite old
and medieval like. There is criminal behaviour taking place right
under everyone’s noses. A girl discovers a secret room with
information linking to various murders but she gets caught in the
action as she finds out she is on the list to be murdered as well. The
story is based on her trying to run from the photographer (murderer)
who is plotting her murder and she has to try and tell someone about
what he has done but this isn’t as easy as she faces mental and
emotional barriers that block her from revealing the secrets she
holds. As the photographer sets up different people and plants
evidence on them to get them framed for the previous, horrific
murders and it’s a mind game for everyone at the school.
Outline of opening sequence
The opening sequence involves a sweet innocent girl wondering the
halls of the school whilst listening to music. Out of nowhere her music
cuts off and the lights start to flicker, it goes dark, but this one room
has lights beaming from the hinges so she head there for safety but
she realises she isn’t as safe as she thought she was. She approaches
the room at a slow pace, wondering what is in there. She opens the
door and glances in to see pictures pouring blood and this is where
her life turned upside down.
