A young girl named Amelia feels like she is being watched after her best friend Annabelle mysteriously disappears. In the opening scene, Amelia and Annabelle walk home from school together and notice a strange man watching them. Later, when the girls go their separate ways, Annabelle is pulled into a small footpath by a gloved hand. Amelia's mother comes to ask if Annabelle is with her, since she hasn't returned home. They search but find no sign of Annabelle. Weeks later as the police give up the search, Amelia begins feeling like she too is being watched by the same mysterious man she saw watching her and Annabelle earlier.

1. Narrative of ‘The Watcher’
In the opening sequence of my film it shows a close up of a clock hitting 3:30 in a
classroom. Then we see a long shot of students leaving school to go home, and the
camera focuses on one student. A young girl who’s walking with her best friend and
heading towards a field to where they both live. We see a over the shoulder shot of the
girls walking with only the side of a mans head to the left hand side of the shot. One of the
girls then turns back because she feels like someones watching her and she sees the
man. So she then nudges her friend and asked is she’d ever seen him before because
living in a small village you tend to notice everyone. When her friend looks back the man
has gone.
As the girls are getting closer and closer to home they depart and go their separate ways.
Amelia Rose walks right and Annabelle turns left. Annabelle is walking at a steady speed
and puts her headphones in as Amelia isn’t there to talk to anymore and as she turns
another corner there is a small bridal footpath and when she walks past it there is a long
shot of a gloved hand coming out and puts it around her mouth and pulls her down.
Amelia gets home and walks through her house into the kitchen in the back rooms, as she
walks through she dumbs her bag in the corridor and goes to the fridge to get a drink. 3
hour later Amelia is in her bedroom doing some homework on her computer when she
doesn’t know how to complete a question for her maths so she rings Annabelle, there was
no answer. She doesn’t think anything of it apart from she didn’t have her phone with her.
Amelia puts her phone down and moves on to the next question. Suddenly she hears the
front door slam close and hears footsteps coming up the stairs at quite a speed. Her
mother opens the door and says ‘Is Annabelle here?’ and Amelia responds ‘No?’, ‘Has she
been here at all tonight?’ and Amelia says ‘No, i last saw her where i normally do when i
turn right and she goes left?’. ‘Well she hasn’t got home yet and its been 3 hours?’. Amelia
and her mum go out to look for Annabelle and find nothing.
It’s 4 weeks later and the police have given up the look for Annabelle, it was left that she
probably wasn’t happy where she was and has run away. Amelia was so down for the next
few months as she’d just lost her best friend. It’d been nearly 2 months now since
Annabelle’s disappearance and Amelia started to feel like she was being watched,
everything she did she felt someone was there, glaring at her from every angle. She went
out with her sister and her mum for a days shopping and kept turning her back at every
corner. A man became frequently spotted by Amelia and she seemed to see him
everywhere, she didn’t think twice about who he was or why he was always there.
