Idea 1 for synopsis

See snippets of her day (looks like any normal day)

The audience can hear the girls parents in the background - yelling, banging? It's muffled 

She does not react to this

House is pristine but when we see her go into her parents room to get something, it's very different (messy, cluttered, alcohol, cigarettes)

  • establishing shot of house/room

  • wakes up - alarm? - birds eye view

  • shot of phone/ message or something - replies "yeah it's nothing"

  • "Bang" - she looks towards room 

  • makes way downstairs

  • breakfast scene

  • hear parents leave and goes upstairs to get something/ clean up parents room etc

  • fade out to white as she leaves (face on)

  • Titles

Idea 2 for synopsis (Final idea)

Looking more at the psychological and emotional abuse rather than physical

  • Shot of the door, slow zoom

  • Shot of 'mother' tapping fingers

  • shot of clock, ticking

  • no music only ticking and tapping

  • silhouette of ash through glass door

  • Tries to close door as quietly as possible

  • Tapping stops as door shuts

  • sneaks upstairs, mum texts 'where have you been?'

  • Schedule printed out on bed with everything for week, mainly chores - weigh yourself?

  • pulls out journal from under bed

  • chart, highlights weight

  • text from mother 'get down here now'
