‘Into-net’ SCREENPLAY

EXT. FOREST SETTING – AFTERNOON

Fern is seen running through the forest, evidently upset and trying to escape something that is pursing. She is pictured bound to a tree in the final clip of her.

FERN

Let me go, just let me go, please, please, let me go.

(INTO-NET TTILES ENTER)

CUTS TO

INT. SIXTH FORM COMMON ROOM SOFAS – AFTERNOON

Shannon is sat reading a newspaper with a picture of Fern as a missing teenager on the front page. Her friend Leah is sat on the opposite end of the sofa, going through her phone and not listening to Shannon.

SHANNON

Hey Skye!

Skye continues to be on her phone.

SHANNON

SKYE!

Skye finally looks up.

SHANNON

Have you heard about this girl called charlotte?

LEAH

Who is she?

SHANNON

She looks familiar. She’s a 17-year-old girl, who’s gone missing. She’s the first student to go missing, in what has been called a dark age on our streets.

LEAH

(mutters to self) You serious?

SHANNON

She was last seen by her friends and CCTV follows her boarding a bus towards Bentley priory.

LEAH

(long pause) We don’t know her.

SHANNON

I know but still. Who you texting?

LEAH

That boy I met on Facebook.

SHANNON

Oh, here you go, this will be funny. Social networks such as Facebook, twitter and tumbler, have been blamed for recent abductions and attacks on young people. Are you listening? Skye this could be you one day! Do you not realize that?

LEAH

It’s not exactly gonna be me is it.

SHANNON

Well you never know!

Shannon exits angrily, clearly annoyed at Leah’s blasé attitude. Leah opens out the paper and begins to read.
