Movie plot summary:
A thriller about a woman who has been in a relationship with an abusive guy for a long time. She knows that if she tries to break up with him by talking to him about it, he might get too angry and, therefore, dangerous. She, therefore, decides to run away at night and stay at her sister's place for a while. Knowing, she won't be able to hide for a long time, she decides to anonymously hire a killer to murder her ex (otherwise he will never leave her alone). Everything seems to be going as planned till the day the woman finds out the killer murdered the ex's twin instead of the ex himself. (Keep in mind the woman had no idea her boyfriend even had a twin). As soon as she finds out her ex is still alive, she becomes terrified and doesn't even realise how absurd the idea of the "accident murder" or a "mix up between two people" sounds. The woman assumes her ex guessed she would try to kill him, which is why she set everything up in a way that his twin dies instead of him. She then decides to meet up with the killer in order to discuss everything face-to-face and make sure this time everything goes truly according to the plan. While she waits for the killer to contact her and tell her where to find him, she decides to grab a cup of coffee in a cafe next to her sister's apartment. As the waiter brings a receipt to her, she finds a note attached to it, which says "I told you you would never run away". After a while of being the victim in these mind games, living in fear and hiding at her sister's place all the time, the woman receives a photo of herself in the window of the apartment with a text attached: "I know where you live, your sister is in danger. She will be safe if we get back together". Scared to death, the woman follows her ex's wish. As they get back together, he is being all nice, apologising for his mistakes and being a perfect boyfriend. Some time later she notices his laptop being unlocked and she decides to look through it. She finds out he was the killer she hired . To get him into jail she decides to set him up. She erases the dialogue, so that there is no trace of her in this whole story and calls her sister, who was going to record their conversation. She asks him certain questions and makes him confess that he killed his brother. Did he know this was coming and does he have something prepared for such a situation? Will he go to jail or will the police find out the woman was also guilty of that murder (because she hired the killer)? Even if he goes to jail, will he leave the woman alone or will she forever be the victim of his mind games?
Opening title sequence shot types:
The opening title sequence is the part, where the woman is waiting for the killer in a cafe. A long shot from the entrance of the cafe introduces the audience to the setting and the main character. Close-ups to her sunglasses, shaky hands holding the cup of coffee, bruises emphasise she was abused and she is trying to stay secretive at the moment. The mid shot, followed by an ECU reveal the texts on her phone (with the killer). A POV shot of her looking at the floor of the cafe and hearing distant steps (that are getting closer) will be interrupted by flashbacks to her boyfriend and him abusing her (shown through a POV as well). In the flashback only his legs and his fist (ready to hit the woman) would be revealed. An over the shoulder following shot (over waiter's shoulder) captures the waiter walking towards the woman's table to give her the receipt. A close-up shows her spilling the coffee, as the waiter puts the receipt on the table. A POV shot captures her opening the receipt and finding a note inside of it. A mid shot, followed by a close-up reveals a tear falling down her cheek (from underneath the sunglasses), as she holds the note. The camera moves closer to her hands and as she drops the note on the table(along with the cash for the coffee) and quickly stands up from the table, the viewers can see what was written on the note through an ECU ("I told you you would never run away"). A long shot captures the woman leaving the cafe in a hurry. A dutch POV and a dutch long shot as she walks to the exit will imitate dizziness. A following shot will capture her falling down. A slow motion low angle shot will imply she completely passed out. Finally, the shot fades out (into black screen with the name of the movie appearing on top of it).
