1. ‘Obsession’ – Web Series Script
Opening scene:
Establishing shot of the killer staring at a wall of images pinned on a board –
silhouette – back facing the camera – he’s in the dark – only source of light
coming from board full of he’s victims and the source of his obsession – some
crossed out in red and some not – images created using green screen. – picks up
a photo which is not crossed out and touches the girls face creepily. (all from his
P.O.V.) – as the episode progresses and she rejects him, his gestures become
more and more angry.
His P.O.V. is in black and white except everything he is obsessed with. E.g. the
roses that he buys her are red. However to everyone else they are dead and
decrepit. However when we changed perspectives it is all in colour and the roses
are now dead and wilted – everything in the killer’s world is in black and white
except the images of the girls and the things that he sees beauty in.
Scene 1:
The girl is walking home and we use a long shot to show that he is merely
watching her as she walks and laughs with her friends – location one (the trek)
Scene 2
Girl splits up with friends, she continues on walking – she begins to get nervous
as if someone’s watching her – she hears a branch snap, she jumps and her
movements become more erratic – she quickens her pace home.
Scene 3:
Later on in the evening she is on her computer with her back and the screen is
facing the French door windows – she catches the killers reflection in the
computer screen and freezes – she slowly turns round only to see nothing
through the window – at the same time the door bell goes and the girl jumps and
screams – she shakes her head out of it and mumbles about being silly and tired.
Scene 4:
She moves to answer the door, slowly edging the door open – (focus in on the
sounds of her breathing slowly reaching a high peak).
Scene 4:
Cut to the killers prov of him standing directly underneath a street lamp staring
and hunch slightly watching her bend down and pick up the box.
Scene 5:
Cut to the girls prov – she bends down to pick up the red box, slowing coming
back up she opens lid and looks bewildered and slightly freaked out. – (3rd
person prov) she walks back in and shuts the door, walks into the kitchen and
puts them in the bin – he is standing outside the back door watching her. His
expression becomes aggravated - (as he slowly become more angry from the
rejection).
2. Scene 6:
Flashback effect of his previous girlfriend rejecting him when he was alive – after
that he opens his eyes and he is back at his lair, angrily he rips up the images of
his ex and then catches a glimpse of the image of his new victim he is stalking at
the current time he repeats the opening scene where he caress the image of the
girl, his body and posture seeming to relax again as a creepy calmness comes
across him and then flashes back to her house.
Scene 7:
He arrives back at the house to find her and her boyfriend sitting on the sofa with
her straddling him, with her hands around his neck laughing with each other.
(This is the stressor.) Killer is standing outside the French windows again,
breathing heavily onto the windows. The scene angers him and causes a light
bulb to explode. The girl screams while the guy shields her from the glass. But
the boyfriend begins to laugh after shrugging it off.
Scene 8:
She walks him to the front door and they lean in to kiss. She stumbles back as if
she had been pushed and the door slams. She panics and tries to open the door.
She’s screaming to her boyfriend while he tries to calm her down and open the
door from the other side. She tells him to go round to the back. He jumps the
front gate and goes to the French doors. She runs towards the French doors
trying to unlock them but fumbles out of fear. He is also trying to open them from
the other side. He then pales and looks straight behind her to where the killer is
standing she freaks out and slowly turns to look behind her.
Scene 9:
She slowly turns to find no one there, the lights go out, abruptly she turns to face
the doors and her boyfriend however the lights come back on and the killer is
now right in front of her (low angle shot to show his dominance and her fear)
Scene goes to black
