In a lesson we created a brief storyline plan to guide us for our filming, so we knew exactly what to film. We written up a brief plan and will follow it for our filming.
This is the final version of our storyline plan, we typed it up and organized it into scenes and text. We made a few changes to the original written outline. This was typed as a word document.

Storyline
1. Screen with the company name.
2. Shots of school showing it is quiet and peaceful (different angles and different areas of school)
3. Text on the black background: “In a normal school”

6. Shot of Rupert being brought into school. Foster father says: “Have a good first day at school”.
7. Text on the black background: “something unusual happens…”
8. Rupert is welcomed into class by his new tutor. Mid-shot of teacher and Rupert coming into class. Rupert looks confident and happy; however he is dressed quite scruffy. His tutor says: “Please, welcome our new student to the tutor. His name is Rupert.” As the teacher says his name, mid-shot goes to one of the students who laughs and makes a joke about him saying: “Rupert? What kind of name is that?” and as he said it everyone started to laugh. He is taunted by other students because of his appearance and his weird name. Shot goes to Rupert again and his face expression changed to sad and angry.
9. Shot goes to Rupert being in the toilet kicking and punching the wall.
10. Then the shot goes to him standing outside the classroom looking at his timetable and suddenly three boys start bullying him. One of them took his timetable and when Rupert tried to take it off him – the other two grabbed him. One of them said: “We’ve heard few stories about you”.
11. Cutback to the toilet scene, where he keeps kicking and punching the wall. (crosscutting)
12. Cutback to the bully’s scene. One of the bullies says: “You are a loner; even your parents abandoned you!” and another one says: “You are a freak!”
13. The scene goes to Rupert sitting outside the classroom (or on the stairs) on his own. He is looking down the floor and as he lifts his head up – his eyes change.
14. Text on the black background: “There is something wrong with Rupert”
15. Scene where first kid is in the toilet and is looking in the mirror. Suddenly the lights flicker and door slams and as he looks around, he looks back in a mirror and he sees Rupert standing behind him. Sound of scream.
16. Text on the black background: “Trouble does have a way of finding him”
17. The second kid is standing on the top of stairs and he is on the phone and suddenly Rupert appears and when he looks up he gets pushed down the stairs.
