ORIGINAL FILM TREATMENT (NOW CHANGED)

 INHABITION 

-a restraint on the direct expression of an instinct 

The theme to our film opening is supernatural and paranormal horror. the 'man' is portrayed as an ambiguous figure, almost demon like. it is up to the audience's interpretation to make assumptions about what the 'man' is.

The plot line is about a girl, called Paisley, getting in an Uber with when a man with a face mask due to coronavirus but can't really see his face. She always ends up with having him as her driver. The driver is mute and never talks to her but is constantly looking at her a in the rear view mirror but yet he is driving normally. Every time she ordered an Uber it was always him but with different names. 

She got a Uber to school and it was the same driver so when she arrived she went to go talk to her friend Tilly. She starts to think that something isn't right. One day she decides to walk home and a random car starts following her. Every time she stopped and turned around the car would stop. it would happen again but then he turned his lights off. One evening she got in the car with him again and she felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. She told him to drop her off not at her chosen location. he then starts to follow her and she ran into the woods. He then pops up on the opposite side of the woods when she is coming out. 

Storyboard of our opening film

Opening scene is the main character running late for school and ordering an Uber. 

She gets in and the man doesn't say anything to her and she thinks it's a bit weird but doesn't think much of it.

*finishes school day

She orders another Uber. 

She gets in and it's the same driver. And, she doesn't think much of it; just a strange coincidence. 

Once again she orders another Uber the next day to go to school and it's the same driver. Now she begins to get freaked and worried that he might be following/ stalking her. 

She tells her friend at school and she just tells her maybe its because she accidentally keeps requesting him to pick her up, so at the end of the day her friend orders her an Uber to make sure it wouldn't be the same driver. yet it was. 

She didn't realise it was the same one because each time she orders it he has different names. 

She gets in the car and tries to get out but he has locked. She starts to freak out. His eyes keep catching hers in the mirror. He then starts to stare at her while still driving.
