Apparently AS Media is going to really challenge my "perfectionist" side. I've always been a perfectionist when it comes to school and studies, and as much as I'd love to not be, it's just who I am. Today, however, I've learned that you are supposed to be imperfect to do well in Media. I like to think of something, and then rethink, and then make adjustments, and then rethink it, and then, eventually, create a final draft that will be the only thing I show people. I've been changing my mind a lot about the synopsis of my film and so I've been hesitating uploading any of my ideas, or the images of my location scouting. But... I have to. Here goes...
- My main character is going to be a 20-something graduate, living in a small town on the outskirts of London. Her name is Emma Greene, she works in an office and lives alone in a house that she usually shares with her best friend, who is away travelling during the time the film is set in. We know this because when Emma enters her house, she checks her answer phone machine and has a message from her friend. Unknowingly, Emma has been followed by a man for the past few years. This man, whose name remains unknown, went to school with Emma when she was younger but she had no idea of his existence. He was the boy who, when he wasn't being bullied terribly, was completely ignored by everyone; she was the girl every girl wanted to be. He had come to grow obsessed with Emma and even attended the same university as her. After graduation, he followed her everywhere, taking pictures of her and stalking her social networking profiles, creating the usual photo collage all over his bedroom of various photos of Emma from various different locations and times. One day, the stalker becomes insane. He follows Emma home from work and breaks into her house, trapping her and tying her up, forcing her to notice him. When she still does not know who he is, he maddens and tortures her, keeping her as a hostage for weeks, before eventually taking his own life, and hers in the process.
