Storyline

A man is in an interrogation room being shown photos of a woman who we discover is the interviewers wife who has been murdered, he is being asked whether he knows her, where he was on a certain night etc. His story remains the same that he didn’t do it. He is getting quite upset about being accused, but in between shots of him being asked the questions and his answers we flashback to a quick edit of her being killed by a balaclava wearing killer, of her being chased and eventually killed. Every now and again we see the suspect rubbing his face or grabbing his hair or twitching, making him look psychotic. At the end of interrogation he is to be held in custody which he is very dramatic about. When we see the policeman leave the station after a hard days work and a little worked up about his wife, as he wipes his tears we continue to see the last few moments of his wife’s life, and he suddenly flashes a smug smile as we see her weakly pull off the balaclava and reveals that it is in fact the husband/policeman that has murdered his wife and has let an innocent man go to jail for his crimes while he walks off into the crowd.

My Influences

There is a scene in the film Halloween, which has come from my idea of how to reveal it is the husband that has killed his wife. The girl lying the on the floor about to die, pulls off Michael Myers’ mask but it blurs so we never see his face, I will do the opposite to make sure we know it is him to add to the twist.

I previously said that I liked the dream-like sequences I had seen in my research of short films. This will come in in the scenes where she is being chased and killed, as it is in the past it will not appear real.

I also liked in “About A Girl” the quick edits of speech and action. This will enter my short film when it flashes from the murder to the interrogation and when the suspect is trying to plead his innocence to reflect desperation.

Opening Sequence

When the credits and the name of the film come up, I want it to be a black screen with white writing, and to hear just the sound of the interview starting, where they state the time and date for the tapes purpose. This is similar to a short film “Helicopter” when we see nothing but hear a son and mother having a answering machine message conversation.
