My short film idea - Concept and synopsis

CONCEPT

In today’s society, are we safe at all? Can a young girl walk home without being in fear? Or is there always someone lurking in the shadows?…..
How far would you go to find the one you loved? Can you trust the people who surround you? The person you think you can trust, may not be who they say at all, is everyone a stranger? Is everyone in danger?
In ‘Missing’, a five minute short film, we tell the story of a young girl’s disappearance and her family’s desperate search to find her.


SYNOPSIS OF STORY

A young girl gets out of her friends car, bidding her good-bye. She begins her walk home, sunlight has already faded and its getting dark. She cuts her journey short by walking through a pathway in the middle of a forest.
Someone is watching her.
The man follows her, watching her from the shadows. She knows someone is behind her, she tries to get out her phone. The man pulls out a knife - significant marking on the blade. A hand reaches out and touches her shoulder, she exhales a breath and turns. You hear her scream as the screen goes black.
Posters of the young girl with the bold caption ‘MISSING’ are seen in lots of different areas. On a lamppost… In a shop window… Under car windshield wipers…
A detective staring at the picture of the young girl on a white board looks stumps. He receives a phone call, we found out his name is Jenkins. He receives the news that they found her body, you can tell from his facial expressions.
Another detective joins Jenkins and the walk down the forest pathway and under some ‘DO NOT CROSS’ yellow police tape. They pass a man in a white overall - forensics. The detectives exchange talk - when they found the body, how she’d been murdered, etc. Jenkins runs a hand over his face in frustration. The other detective watches him almost angrily. They make their way back to his car to go and tell the girl’s parents. They drive in silence.
The arrive at the parents house. .Jenkins exhales a shaky breath. He looks close to tears as he see’s a missing poster held up outside their home. The other detective takes out his pen knife and cuts it down.
We now know the detective is the killer. The markings on the knife are the same.
They walk up to the house and press the doorbell. The parents answer.
Just from the looks on the detectives face, the mother instantly breaks down as the father holds her. They walk inside, the detective/killer stepping on a missing poster as he walks inside.
He turns and grins evilly, making eye contact with the audience before closing the door.
