Final edit of 'Suzanne'

Synopsis of film

Our film will be titled ‘Suzanne’. It will focus on a young girl who is being troubled by a mysterious male character who appears to be following her throughout the film. The opening will involve the young girl doing her normal journey home day by day. There will be quick edits that show the different days of the week. While walking home, she is followed by the hooded character whose face we only see a few times in the film to keep his character quite hidden.
As the film progresses, the male character is seen more and more. The young girl’s mental state is slowly declines and she starts to see him even at school. She confides in friends and family who tell her the same thing, “go to the police”. She does, and when the police tell her to describe the young man she does so and is also told to keep a diary of events so that they can track his movements. The police are on the case, but cannot find any evidence.
Things take a turn for the worst when she gets attacked by the man, not only on her route home, but also while sleeping. With the police slowly losing interest in the case as they can never seem to get to the girl when she’s in trouble and for the fact that there is hardly any evidence against this man, the girl’s family puts her into a psychiatric ward as she appears to have completely ‘lost her mind’ and now believe that there is actually no one that is ‘troubling’ her.
The film will conclude with the girl staring into space while in her hospital room. A male nurse comes in to check on her. He has the exact same identity as the male character who was the girl’s stalker/attacker.
