Synopsis of the two minute opening...

At the start of the two minute opening the camera runs over the wall that is filled with photos of the three friends together, having a laugh and hanging about, different places and locations, camera then turns to a shot of Sara burning a photo of the three girls only showing hands, then from shoulder view, slowing pans up to show Sara looking rough and distraught. Title saying '6 months earlier' then goes to a shot of Mellisa and Joanna walking out of the pub slightly tipsy, talking. Sara leaning against the pub down the alley with light above her, CCTV shot. Then we move to Mellisa and Joanna walking down the alley whilst a different actors plays Sara as she stays leaning against the pub whilst we walk past, we have the actor hooded so they cannot see their face - this is because Sara will be filming the shot. We will then take a range of different shots to show the journey of the girls from the pub to the forest.

Sara will be following the girls up to the forest, from there when they get into the forest Mellisa and Joanna will sit down on a log near the lake, Joanna will start a conversation, Mellisa will answer once. Stick cracks making the girls jump, they start laugh, then go back to conversation. Shot of Sara walking, showing her feet, with heavy breathing. Shot of the girls from the front, with Sara in background, walking past. Joanna goes to further into the forest, Mellisa is now alone sitting by the lake, Sara enters from behind and covers her mouth slits throat and drags her backwards, Joanna comes back to finds that Mellisa is missing, follows blood trail sees 'something!' black out, SCREAMMMM!!!!!! branch snaps!
