Group: Treatment

Stakeout Treatment

Main location: Woods, set in evening light, but given a gloomy effect from the shadows of the overhead trees.
Other locations: A dark room, very little occupying the room, main focus is the character on the phone in the room.

Treatment:
In a dark wood a man runs past the camera, the sound of his panting can be heard. As he passes into the distance a man drops to his knees, in mid-shot. As he looks up his eyes open, revealing his red eyes, he opens his mouth to give out a scream, as he does this his sharp teeth become apparent, he is a VAMPIRE. Cut back to man as he reaches for his phone, frantically pushing at  buttons to reach someone.

A cross cut is used to the another man answering a phone, dimly lit, in his room. Panic in the callers voice can be heard, the man is left with no time to respond, "I've found them, they were in the woods, I stumbled by, they're on my tail, HELP!!!"  As he talks a flash of lightning comes from outside, creating a silhouette. He stays on the phone, listening to what is happening, cut back to woods.

The runner has stopped by tree, unable to run any further, unable to talk on the phone anymore, however he puts it on to speakerphone, he turns to face the THREE vampires, one steps forward, a fight ensues in which a vampire knocks the phone out of his hand, landing by a nearby tree. As the man fends one vampire off him, another bites him, as this happen he is pushed up against the tree near the phone. As the man pleas the main vampire rushes forward, with a malevolent look he punches through the man's stomach, blood flies creating a mist in the air.

As the body drops to the floor the vampires surround the body, one kneels down next to him and speaks about how he knows there is a group of people out to rid the world of vampires, and that they're becoming prepared at that they wouldn't have long. Cut to the dark room in which the man's eyes widen, he forgets he's on speakerphone, "No way!" Back in the woods the vampire hear him, one rushes to the phone, "Someone's been listening the whole time". Proceeds to smash the phone.

They drag the body away from the tree, and as they do so the title "Stakeout" can be seen in the blood trail.

In the dark room the phone drops to the floor, a bag is shown being thrown into the boot of a car, the audience assuming it is the man from the phone. As the boot shuts the scene fades to black.

Titles:
During the chase the titles will appear from the passing trees, and will also be washed away as another tree passes, the likelihood is that they will be in blood red, being symbolic of the vampires.

Characters:
There will be three vampires, one seen as a main vampire who delivers the final blow to the man, and two other vampires as "back up".
There will be one man running in the woods, needing a prop of a mobile phone so he can call for help.
Another mysterious man will be in the cross cut as he receives the call, he will be in a dark room, partially obscuring his features.
