Treatment

The opening sequence begins with a scene from a point of view of a camera in the top corner of an interrogation room looking down at a teenage boy who is clearly traumatised, has dirty and ripped clothes and is staring into the wall in front of him. The room is very bright and the camera zooms in on the boy's face rather slowly, however as it zooms in there is a low chatter from the outside of the room. As it gets closer, there is a complete change of scene from the room to a flashback of the boy running in a gloomy and scary forest and something is clearly chasing him. The audience can witness this scene with a medium shot that is on the eye level with the character who is running. The camera will be moving backwards as the character is moving forward. The scene is changed back to the room after 2 seconds of the boy running and the camera is still slowly moving towards the boy's face as the noise of the chatter increases. The flashback occurs again, after which there is a cut to the interrogation room yet again. This occurs multiple times until the camera extremely zooms into the boy's eye, the chatter is extremely loud and there is a loud bang of the door. At that moment the camera angle changes to a medium shot which captures an investigator walking into the room. At that moment there is silence. As the investigator sits down, the camera changes to an over the shoulder shot from behind the boy and the investigator asks "So, what happened?" As the investigator finishes the sentence the camera changes to a close up of the boy's frightened, dirty face.
