Thriller Treatment

The scene opens with the camera panning across the screen and eventually stopping at a medium shot of a young man sitting on a wall outside of the Co-operative. He is using his phone and eating his dinner. People are walking past him but they do not take any notice of him and don't even look at him. The scene seems normal but the fact that nobody seems to notice the man is slightly odd as he is talking on his phone. At this point there is no indication that anything is going to happen. The next shot is of a group of a mysterious man looking towards the young man. The camera then cuts to an over the shoulder shot of the man, in which the audience discover that the man has been standing round the corner from the young man. They walk towards the camera and the young man appears startled. The camera tracks to an over the shoulder shot of the group of men. They talk to the man and ask him "where is it?". He says that he doesn't know what they are talking about. The group of men grab the man which we see from a medium shot. The people who are walking by still don't appear to notice what is going on, almost as if the young man and the group of men are invisible. The screen fades to black and there is the sound of the man protesting and trying to get away. Throughout this part of the scene shots of another man walking through Wem will be interspersed between the rest of the action. His part in the plot will be revealed later in the film. The screen fades back in and the audience see a close-up of the young man with a bloody face and looking dehydrated and exhausted. The camera keeps focused on him as we hear voices questioning him and asking what he has done with "it". Then there is a voice saying to "leave him". The camera pans to the side of the young man and the audience see a group of men, including the ones who took the young man, walking out of a dark, eery looking room. The screen fades to black as the young man's head begins to drop and his eyes close. As the scene fades back in from black, the man raises his head and opens his eys. He appears to listen closely to see if he can hear anything. He then walks towards the door of the room with the camera tracking away from him. The camera pans around him and the audience see the man standing against the wall just next to the door. After a few seconds, there is a close up of the door handle being pushed down. The camera cuts to a wide shot of a man walking into the room. The audience see the young man behind him but he remains unaware. The camera cuts to a medium shot from behind the man. The young man slowly walks towards him and the man turns around to face him but before he can the young man put his arm around his neck and kills him.
