PanophobiaA film idea by Amara, Lucy and Phoebe

PlotA voiceover is heard over a film montage of three friends on a day out together, talking about their friendship and specifically focussing on one of the girls who is revealed to be missing. The montage is split between the girls and separate shots of disposable camera photos being burnt by an unknown person – we have planned to write the credits on each photo, film it being burnt, then reverse the footage so the photo reverse burns away to reveal the writing (directed by, produced by etc)The voiceover then goes to a scene in which it is shown to be one of the friends filming a plea (which is then put online) for the missing girl to come home, wherever she is. The unknown person is then shown watching the video on a phone, before throwing it aside and the camera panning up to reveal it is in fact the missing girl. A lighter is shown nearby to clarify she is the one burning the photos.

show Amber and Isla holding up the poster in Isla’s bedroom, filming a “come home” plea to upload to social media.

• Pans out of the bedroom to show someone holding a phone and watching the video. Phone is then dropped to the ground, and camera pans up to show Erin looking angry. She then holds up a lighter and clicks it on, before the screen abruptly turns black.
