Film Idea (3)

  • A shy girl, Emma, moves to a new school and meets a new confident friend Jane, on the first day.
  • They spend a lot of time together and the two girls become inseparable.
  • We see that Emma takes tablets, which the audience will believe are for her immune system.
  • We do not see anyone else speak to the two girls except Emma's family, who do not share any screen-time with Jane. They are pleased that Emma has made a new friend.
  • Everyone else at the school seems to avoid the two girls and we see them look oddly at them and make cruel remarks occasionally like; "Freak", "Weirdo" etc. At this point the audience will believe that it's because she is a new student they are treating her differently. Jane tells Emma to block out and ignore everyone else as she doesn't need anyone except her.
  • One day, Emma tries to speak to a boy she has a crush on but he completely rejects her and says; "I can't be seen talking to a person like you."
  • Later, Emma becomes upset as she doesn't understand why people are acting so cold towards her, Jane fuels her anger by taunting her and telling her that people hate her.
  • Emma goes out for a drive, and suddenly Jane appears in the car beside her, Emma does not seem at all phased by Jane's sudden appearance. Jane continues to taunt Emma, saying cruel things about her being a freak and pathetic for having imaginary friends at 17 and she talks about her old imaginary friend James. Emma has flashbacks of being cruelly treated and stops the car and tries to run away from Jane, she pulls out a knife she was going to use to kill herself but instead she brutally murders Jane.Quickly driving away she drives to a far away lay-by takes a handful of pills and cries herself to sleep.
  • The next morning she wakes up in hospital bed and her doctor tells her that she was found shortly after taking the overdose and needs to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. She sees Jane standing behind the doctor, not a scratch on her. She nods but doesn't speak.
  • The doctors try to treat her and tell her that she needs to block out the imaginary people and one day they ask her if the new tablets are working and she says she only sees Jane in her nightmares. She is admitted from hospital and we see her taking a walk in the same place she met Jane. As Emma walks we see Jane standing behind her staring and as she takes a step Emma gasps and looks up.
