It is a bit long but please read it. All advice will be VERY helpful:
The film is about a jogger who gets lost in a forest and becomes the prey of a "monster" that slowly begins to stalk him. At the start of the film we are introduced to the Jogger, who the camera randomly selects. While on what is shown to be his "normal" route the jogger. The joggers boredom of this route is show when we see him slowly reach the top of your toute and begin back before slowly turning back and looking at the enormity of the forest. He wishes to breakaway from his normal route (alludes to his "normal" life) and do something different for a change (departing from what is "normal"). Due to his boredom of the normal route we see him begin his entrance to the forest and therefore breaking away from what is normal for him.
The next scene is the jogger, jogging through the forest. This is done to show the audience how the jogger becomes lost later in the film and to establish isolation. This is done by showing the joggers lack of preparation for entering the forest, exhaution from jogging more then his limit and by the many different paths that the jogger can take. This scene suggests that evil lurks within the forest by the broken trees and untame bush in the forest. It also preludes to the fact he is being watched by someone through rocks/sticks sometimes falling "randomly".
The next scene is when he realises he is being followed by something. As he slowly realises that the "noises" he hears while taking a risk are not just sounds of the forest he slowly gets up and attempts to leave casually. However as he leaves the "noises" of the monster increasing and so he increases his speed untill he reches a run. At a point when it seems the monster is about to get him (Noise at this point is loud) the jogger stumbles over. Silence is now heard and mystified the jogger looks around. He slowly gets up and begin working off only for him to see a flash of the monster moving. He then sprints off into the bush.
Upon breaking out of the bush the jogger looks behind him and sees no trace of the monster that is stalking him. He then looks around to see where he is an sees an old abandoned building (In real life an abandoned old hospital). He then begins to go to it still looking around for the monster. Once almost there he looks back. In the distance, standing on a hill, is a figure with a top hat clearly watching him (no features can be made out). The jogger frightened takes backs off and turns to sprint and trips and falls down a hill. Once at the bottom the jogger gets up and stumbles around towards the building. Once there he looks back and sees that the person watching him is no longer there. He now goes around a corner looking for an entrance into the building. He spots a door and runs up to it and knocks on it. There is no reply. He then looks throught the window and sees a single bed in an otherwise empty room. He begins to go around a corner before a large stone falls down a cliff. Scared that the person is now back he slowly looks around the next corner. To his relief, no one is there. He now goes around to a new part of the building. He looks through more windows and it is relatively empty as before. Looking around he spots some broken floor boards on the outside deck, and doors behind them. He walks over to them to see if he can get in. While walking up to the steps he sees what appears to be blood stains. As he slowly walks up the stairs he see blood hand marks that have been dragged to the door and on the door hinge more blood stains as the last victim tried to hold back. Realising that he is in the monsters liar and he is right where the monster wants him, he sprints off trying to escape. After getting down some stairs he breaks back into the forest. After needing a rest he stops. Looking around wondering what to do he spots an exit. He begins to take this path which is partially blocked and slowly makes his way towards it. Only a few metres away from the exit a huge crack occurs and scuffling can be heard deeper in the forest. We then see the jogging breaking out towards the exit onto a road but looks back to see if the monster is following him. From the monsters point of view we see him watching the jogger. The jogger, thinking he is safe walks off down the road. The shot then fades out.
We now see a joggers feet pounding on the footpath. It is the revealed that it is infact the jogger from before but this time later in the evening. He is almost home after the days earlier events. As he gets towards the mid point of the hill he sees a key ring which he picks up. After he looks at it he discards it. The keyring then lands next to a key but he does not see this. The camera slowly tilts up revealing a trail of more keys, each being part of the set of keys he had lost before. Unaware that he is still being followed we now see a point of view shot of the monster wdowatching him. As he gets almost home we cut to a shot which shows his shadow going across it. As it leaves the monsters/persons shadow now enters the frame shown by his unique hat. The shot now cuts to black and we are left to presume the person has finished off the jogger...
All critism, improvements, good things in it etc are welcome. Thanks!
