Possible Film Idea 1

The Spectre

Title Sequence opens up the movie introducing shots of a streetlamp lit street, a quiet road occupied only by the moon and a neighbours cat and fallen leaves from a nearby tree. Cast names appear on screen in between the shots. The camera pans down from the moonlit sky down to the road and the title of the film is introduce, the title cuts away and into the action of the film through a wipe shot of a car driving past. A girl is running along the street/road late into the night. As she runs along the road she looks up to see a mysterious figure stood underneath a streetlamp. She gasps and looks up at it but ignores it and continues to run. A few metres further she turns round a corner and the spectre is stood opposite her again. She stops in her tracks and yells at it asking: What it wants?! The spectre doesn't say a word to her and instead points off into the distance. Following the spectres arm she enters a flashback of her parents arguing, yelling at each other, before deciding to file a divorce. The flashback then cuts away and the spectre is no longer stood opposite her, looking around confused she begins running again but away from where she was stood. She turns back on her original path and continues running until low and behold the spectre greets her again. The girl yells at the spectre again wanting to get rid of its presence but it replies by pointing off into the distance again. This flashback shows how the ex husband has filed an awful divorce on the mother making her bills really hard to pay, struggling to make ends meet and therefore can't treat her daughter to the finer things that all the other girls get. Hesitating, the girl shoves off the spectre's flashback and continues running but this time has a more troubled expression as she overthinks the flashbacks she's seen. Once again she comes to the end of a road and to a corner, she looks round the corner expecting to see the spectre but he isn't there, breathing a sigh of relief she runs round the corner but suddenly stops in her tracks as the spectre appears. Pointing into the distance another flashback is shown; where she walked in seeing her mother with another man and seeing them kiss, except the flashback shows how it was actually the man who kissed her mother and she doesn't want to introduce a new man into her daughters life yet. Starting to realise that she hasn't really understood what's going on in her mother's life she tries to back away. This time, instead of letting her run away the spectre holds on to her and shows her another flashback of her mother breaking down over how her daughter is hurting and struggling going through the divorce and wishes that she could help her and that it weren't like this. After the flashback is finished the spectre lets go of the girl but this time for the final time as she wipes away a tear from her eye and the spectre knows that it has done its job and that she finally understands. However, because of all the running and tried to avoid both her past and the spectre the girl is lost; "Can you help me once last time" she asks the spectre and he points to her the route she has to go. "Thank you. For everything, I understand now" the girl says and she begins running, she looks behind her to give a smile to the spectre but instead laughs a little as this mysterious unknown spectre has vanished but this time she knows its for the last time as she knows the truth and only holds love and sorrow for her mother. She runs down the street following the spectre's guidance as roughly as she could before coming back to a familar street and then back to the pathway up to her street, she slowly walks up to the door and goes to knock on the door but it swings open immediately and her mother lifts her up into her arms and they embrace in a hug, swinging her daughter around. Exchanging a few "sorrys" and tears they resolve their argument and strenghten their bond and love. The mother then goes back into the house and says "we'll order a pizza, close door when you come in please" doing as her mother asks she closes the door but stops randomly as she feels she is not alone, she looks over her shoulder and the spectre is stood at the bottom of her street. "I thought I'd finally learnt the truth" she says, the spectre points to a new house and another girl comes running out shouting "I hate you" and the spectre was no longer at the end of her street, smiling once again, she knew that he was meerely back to go back to work again. THE END.
