Synopsis
Its going to be set at night with a camera following a dark
cloaked figure through the smoky misty streets of Victorian London. Then the
figure will run down an alleyway and a woman’s scream will be heard. There will
be a narration over the top of the footage which will follow the lines of this:
‘Nearly 150 years ago an unknown killer began a
unforgettable reign of terror . He stalked his prey on the backstreets of
london’s east end. He was cunning and merciless and with each attack his lust
for blood grew stronger. Then no sooner had he stamped his name deep into
criminal history. He was gone and left only his shadow to terrify generations
to come. Leaving the Question Who is Jack The Ripper?!’
Treatment
Fading in from black a white title in a white box appears
which says London 1888 This then fades back to black. The opening shot then
fades in from black showing a wall distorted by fog, mist and smoke a cloaked
man in a top hat walks past the camera going from left to right. The next shot
the cloaked man is walking on a cobble road and the camera is following him
focusing on his shoes until he walks of screen. Then the cloaked figure passes
through an archway this is in two shots one a medium close up from behind the
next a long shot from behind the man then vanishes into the fog. He is then
seen again walking past the camera this time it’s a close up of his feet he
leaves right of the screen. Then the camera is following the silhouette from
behind this time of his shoulders. The shot then cuts to him walking through a
bridge coming from behind the camera then disappears into the smog. The final
shot is of him waiting on a corner of an alley way he waits for a woman to walk
down there then follows her the shot then cuts to black and a woman’s scream is
heard. While the words Jack The Ripper
in red drip onto the screen.
