Movie plot summary:
This is a psychological thriller/horror about a teenage girl, who gets lost between reality and the world within her dreams. She has always had vivid dreams, but lately they have become too real. To the point that one time after dreaming about being chased, running away and falling down, she wakes up with scratches on her knees. Undoubtedly, she gets concerned. After that from night to night her dreams keep appearing in a logical sequence, where she is walking to an unknown destination, getting further and further every night. One day she wakes up and turns on the TV, where the local news announces that one of the students from her school went missing that night. The awful thing is that the main character wakes up with dirt and soil under her nails this morning, which makes her think she might be guilty of the crime (she might have done something unconsciously while being asleep). She decides it is her responsibility to investigate this crime, but it doesn't seem to work out so well in real life. On the other hand every night in her dreams she finds more and more clues that might be connected to her kidnapped classmate. Will she turn out to be guilty of the crime? Why is her reality connected to her dreams? Will she find the lost student or will she give up?
Opening title sequence shots:
The scene starts with fast paced long, mid shots and close ups of the girl running on a street in the evening. A POV reveals a silhouette following her and as she looks back, she trips over a stone (or any other object) and falls down on the street. The POV of her falling down is followed by a zoom out from a close-up of her waking up, panting. A long shot sets the location of the action (a neat room, designed in mostly light colours). A mid following shot captures her standing up and walking to the bathroom. A bathroom mirror shot shows how she brushes her teeth and a close-up shows how she turns on the radio to play some music. A mid-shot reveal her dancing while brushing her teeth and hair. A static mid-shot shows how she walks out of the bathroom and a pan captures her walking to her wardrobe to change the clothes. Here, several close-ups should capture the details in her room (e.g. paintings on her walls, photos of her family, a huge amount of books on the shelves, tidy clothes, a perfectly white carpet etc. A close-up shows her quietly singing the song at the background and a following close-up on her hands shows what clothes she takes out of the wardrobe. A long shot captures her sitting down on the bed (or a chair) to change her pyjamas (pants) to formal school trousers. A POV shot shows how she takes off her sleeping pants and notices the scratches on her knees, that seem fresh. A close-up shows her eyes, that fill with fear and her mouth that stops singing the song. Flashbacks to her running away from someone in her dream appear here and the audience observes the girl holding her head and thinking (in a close-up). A following shot (from the low angle to a normal level) shows how the girl drops a tear.
