Treatment:


Opening shows what the audience presumes is a derranged killer, they never get to see his face. The killer is seen going through a list ticking off names, but the motives behind his behaviour is not known. It connotes that he has killed the people due to the screams and music, as well as the mise en scene. Various cuts vary from the acts being done and his list. As the final task is carried out, the name is not ticked off. The scene cuts to the victim with parallel editing which implies this is the person who is being targeted.

3 main lines of action will hopefully be used, one for the shots positioned with the antagonist ticking the list and wealding other things, one for the location of slaughter house where flashbacks of previous murders occur and another line of action to show the final person on the list being hunted and chased by the murderer. The cutting rate of these lines of action will give these main scenes longer establishing time and other short shots of other things such as shots of weapons or blood will be cut quickly and sharply to give a razer like effect, possibly with high pitched, sharp music sounds over the top. Also as the scenes inter cut at a faster rate the music has to compliment this by speeding up at a louder and faster tempo.
