Film treatment


Beginning- The beginning of our film would be introducing the characters that we are including in our trailer, this is before the killer is known to the audience and the characters. Our first scene would be similar to a newspaper article, adverstising someone dying at a party a few weeks ago. This would be something that the characters wouldn't see, only the audience are privy to the information. This could then lead on to the characters in our trailer having their party, the audience knowing that she will eventually die. She could be having an argument with her friends about whether they should go to the party or not, saying something cliched like 'nothing is going to happen'! A party would then happen that would take us to the middle of the film.

Middle - The party has certain events between the characters that trigger the eventual death of many of the characters, including the girl, of which our trailer shows of her being dragged away. The killer is merged in with the crowd, almost stalking the next victim. He hears a conversation about another party between the girls that they are going to, and chooses that place to strike. During the party he sees one our male extra's talking to the girls - flirting? This annoys the killer which results in him trying to get rid of his competition by killing off the other males. Bekky's character Rosie would be the person that the killer is obsessed with because of her flirtatious attitude. The killer tries to make her paranoid by causing near death experiences, knowing that her friends will think shes doing it for attention, causing her to be isolated which the killer takes to his advantage.
Shelly's character Donny could take Bekky's side because she already is isolated which is why the killer never pays any attention to her like the other girls in the film. Although Donny is taking Rosie's side, near death experiences will still occur over the anger of Rosie not being completely on her own, which is how the killer will meet Donny, without any romantic interest.
Cut between the near death experiences with Donny and Rosie, the male extra's are being killed one by one. The killer uses a romantic interest that Jack has towards Rosie to his advantage, playing with his emotions. Due to Rosie being intrgued by Jack as well, this is how the killer lures her to the next party.

End - The party takes place that is in our trailer. You see the remaining alive characters, including Donny and Rosie having a good time, not knowing that more deaths are to come and that deaths have already taken place. You see the killer walking behind the girls, but also behind his next male victim who is going to the party. The party consists of Donny sitting alone, watching Rosie. This is at the same time as Jack walks into the party (with a beer) also looking at Rosie enter. They all dance, certain clips are of the killer preparing for Rosie's death. This is when Rosie says 'I'll be back in a minute'. We have changed this to Jack replying in a Joking way 'No you won't.' .
Rosie walks outside of the party, only to find the killer waiting for her, with the knife in his hand. She could think that it could be all a joke because of the near death experiences, until he strikes. She screams, but no one hears her because of the music.
Donny would be outside going to look for Rosie until she sees the hands being dragged away. She hears the scream. She would go investigate and hides behind a wall, recognising the killers face from previous partys and links him to the near death experiences. Saying a prayer to Rosie, she knows she has to catch the killer before he kills again. She does this by striking the killer on the back of the head with a pole, this would be the 13th person killed, linking to the Title.
The films ends on how it began, with the news article of deaths of being linked to parties, the killers face is revealed on the article this time as well now that he is dead and the plot has been revealed.
