script

scene 1 - interior
night
scene starts in a dark room with a lone figure tied in a chair, blind folded and gagged, with heavy breathing heard from the character who's shaking and shivering. the only light illuminating the room, sways slowly above the character. scene fades away with a tableau saying "6 hours earlier". credits go on through scene 1.

scene 2 - exterior
night
establishing shot of the city at a distance. camera moves to alleyway where character from scene 1 is walking along, chatting to his girlfriend, cross cutting back and forth from character to his girlfriend until a shadowy figure from behind him, grabs him.

scene 3 - exterior
night
the girlfriend can only listen as her boyfriend is struggling with the shadowy figure. the boyfriend is knocked unconscious and is thrown in to a blue van. the phone lying behind on the ground. girlfriend sticks her head out the window seeing a blue van drive by. she runs out to the alleyway, finding his phone on the ground.

scene 4 - exterior
night
back to scene 1. in the dark room, the door opens and a flash of light pours in, a shadowy figure stretches towards the bound character. title roles on.

scene 4 was changed at the beginning, because we wanted the audience to make the assumption of the character being kidnapped by themselves, rather than telling them. scene 4 was originally meant to begin with the girlfriend running to the police station and telling them that he boyfriend as been "taken". eventually we thought it better, to take this out, as the audience are capable of working out for themselves what has happened.)
