The Victim - Film Script

Film Script – The Victim.

This scene takes place in a normal room, set out like an interview room. The girl being interviewed is Emily, she has been involved with her friends disappearance on the 19th April. She claims to have witnessed something obnormal and the interviewer is trying to get her to tell them what happened on the night and what happened to her missing friend Beth. Some of the shots will be as if she is being watched by a CCTV camera, and other shots are varied, to show her emotion. Within the scene Emily is possessed by something unknown, she becomes angry and starts to crawl to the camera. At the end of the scene we hear the interviewer screaming and Emily is looking directly at the camera in front. The camera falls on the ground and Emily crawls to the camera and says 'its not me' the camera cuts off.
