Screenplay Joe Bainbridge

INT. HOUSE – NIGHT

Screen is black but a shrill scream is heard and the picture appears abruptly

Loud, distressing, panic inducing music follows that builds to a crescendo as he breaks the door down later on

Protagonist is sprinting along the hallway towards the camera at speed but the camera is dolling backwards at an equal speed

Long shot of protagonist with his back to audience as he crashes through bedroom door, loud crash, thud and grunt of pain from protagonist

Over the shoulder medium close up on the villain opening the slide up window opposite the door to escape zooms in to become a close up as he slows his escape so he can turn his head to look at the protagonist, the villains eyes are stone like, unremorseful and cold

When the protagonist sees the villain the music again begins to build to a crescendo that happens when he sees his dead wife’s body

A medium close up also zooms in to become a close up of the protagonist to show his rage and deep breaths

The same close up shot of the villain is shown again, as his eyes slowly move to behind the bed where the protagonist’s wife lies

Once again the same close up is shown of the protagonist as he looks slowly in the direction the villain hinted at

A mid shot of the murdered wife follows which quickly cuts to a succession of extreme close ups of her injuries that finish with her lifeless eyes

Another close up of the protagonist, this time his reaction to what he has seen, his eyes fill with rage and his breathing deepens, He then screams with rage

As the scream continues there is a long shot much like the one earlier, featuring the back of the protagonist who starts to charge and the villain at the window who then swiftly opens the window and slips out

A POV shot ends the scene with the camera pointing out of the window looking down on the fleeing assailant
