“OBSESSED”

SCENE 1

EXT. PUBLIC STREET- AFTERNOON

A normal suburban village in Banstead, it’s around 12:00pm in the afternoon. Cars pass the houses infrequently disrupting the tranquillity of the afternoon silence.

Vincent, a young man with dark blonde hair makes his way home from Banstead village with his hood up, masking his identity. Sarah, a young blonde teenage girl is walking in the opposite direction towards Vincent, her eyes glued to her phone unaware of his presence.

[Keeps staring at her phone whilst walking in Vincent’s direction]

VINCENT

SARAH

 [Vincent causes her to look up, her expression startled]

     Sorry, didn’t see you there

VINCENT

 [Remains silent and begins to walk away and stops a few feet past Sarah]

SARAH

 [Offended by the absence of his response walks quickly away from his direction]

VINCENT

 [Turns around and stares at Sarah walking away]

SARAH

 [Glances back and sees Vincent’s icy glare staring back at her. Sarah’s pace then quickens desperate to get away from him]

Inside home in a bedroom at the top of the house, the street is quiet. It’s about 3:00pm and the sun is starting to set, creating a dark atmosphere and eerie feel.

VINCENT

 [Sitting on a chair and staring out of corner window. He spots Sarah walking past his home, he discreetly jumps out of his chair and stares at her. His hand reaches up towards the glass and strokes it slowly.]

INT. Vincent's Shed - 5.15pm 

Vincent

A small dark shed placed in the secluded area of the back of Vincent's garden. It is nearing night and there is little natural light. The sound of distant cars disturb the serenity in the desolute area at the bottom of the garden. 

Vincent sits inside a desk within the shed with his identity still masked. The inside of the shed is decorated with various old papers, pictures and journals of Sarah. Tools and weapons are hanging within the background as Vincent begins to add more images and objects to his collection. A panning shot across Vincent's deranged eyes gives away the only part of his identity as his eerie obsession continues. 

[Takes out diary and scribbles small notes inside. Grabs a picture of Sarah, and smiles creepily.]
[Flashes of the weapons, pictures, notes and diaries create a distorted effect as the camera focuses on Vincent's eyes]
