Story Outline

Medium Shot of Josh slamming door shouting the words “Leave me alone! I wish you would all disappear” The shot is then focused on Josh taking his anti-depressant pills whilst sat on the side of his bed. A birds-eye view style shot will then be used above josh whilst he is laying straight on the bed with his lamp providing light. The sequence will then cut to a black screen and then back to the birds-eye view shot of Josh waking up, the next shot will be of Josh opening his curtains.

Josh then proceeds to walk down the stairs to get breakfast this shot will be filmed through the bannister. Without questioning the absence of his parents he gathers up his college equipment and shouts goodbye to his Mum and Dad whilst on his way out the door. He receives no response and starts to look for his parents, upon realizing that they are not home and none of the cars are missing. Confusion is aroused within Josh and he starts to notice that there is no natural sounds outside. Josh rides around the streets on his BMX looking for any noticeable sign of life. Josh begins to understand that he is alone, stops and slowly smiles.

The next part of the sequence is a week later and shows Josh riding around the streets listening to his i-pod, racing around. Josh then stops and takes snacks out his bag. This will trigger a time lapse scene in which Josh eats a number of snacks. The next day Josh wakes up and goes to eat breakfast. He is ready to eat his cereal when the front door opens and then slams shut, the sound from it echoing throughout the house. A shot of Josh’s eyes will then be used before cutting to black and rolling the title sequence.
