NARRATIVE-STRUCTURE-PLOT-ENIGMAPlot-Two detectives are investigating some mysterious murders, when the bodies are examined they discover some unusual marks that appear on all of the victims. Little do they know the murderer is in their midst.

We will follow the life of Detective Barnes as he attempts to solve the murders, as he becomes exceedingly suspicious of his fellow detective.

The significant object will be a clock left in the hand of the victims leaving the time that they were killed.

The murders will be shot using the shadow of the characters to show the struggle but not to give away the twist. The short will also be shot in black and white to show it was set in the past rather than present. All the victims will be ex boyfriends of the killer, this will add another twist.

and Sherlock Holmes, linking in with the theme of our short film which is vampire/detective. The main target audience will be film students and film festival audiences mainly being teenagers.

THEMES, TIMES AND TECHNOLOGY• The theme of the short will be horror and detective, it will be set in the 1980s where

there was a lack of technology, meaning our film will not be based around technology. The enigma will be the boss looking over Rosalie’s file discovering her past, this will include flashbacks of her past. The clocks found on the bodies will be set at the time of their death.
