Film Synopsis

The screen fades in from black. From Sarahs’s perspective we see that she is in a dark room with a single light source. A mysterious figure appears from the darkness, and she looks at her hands and feet, which are bound with rope. Through Sarah’s eyes the figure emerges from the darkness and walks towards her, placing his face close to hers. His arm raises and he rips a strip of tape off her mouth. He points a gun towards her and says ‘Where is the case?’ She remains silent. He repeats and adds ‘If you don’t tell me, I will…’Finally Sarah’s face is revealed as suspenseful music begins to crescendo and the camera swoops in from behind the mysterious figure to a medium close-up of her face as she begins to smile. The screen goes black instantly. Two gunshots are fired, as the word Amnesia abruptly appears in white military style writing.

An extreme close up of Sarah’s face comes into view as she is running through trees. In time with her rapid breathing, the camera cuts between long shots of her running through the forest and extreme close ups of her face and feet. She soon tires and rests. After she reviews her surroundings she figures the ‘coast is clear’ and soon realises she is near a street with two rows of houses that she dimly recognises.

Suddenly a ‘merky lit’ shot takes over the screen and Sarah is seen running from one of the houses, and places a note in a letter box and then runs away again. After the shot she is standing in front of the same house from her flashback, this is the first flashback that Sarah has and to establish that it is a flashback the lighting in the scene previously mentioned will be merky and in a warmer light/shade.

Sarah is standing in front of the house, and walks cautiously towards the letter box, she reaches in an pulls out a key. There is no address, note or explanation attached to the letter. Suddenly a loud crashing noise is heard from the house, Sarah approaches the house cautiously. She walks up the driveway, and walks up the stairs to the front door of the house. The door is half open, she cautiously proceeds to open the door and walk through the living area. She again experiences a flashback, but this time it is of her placing a folded note behind an object (could be a vase or photo frame). There is a clock/calendar next to the object masking the note and the date reads 4 June 2011. After returning to reality Sarah looks to her right side and sees the object from her flashback, although this time the date reads 5 June 2011. Sarah reaches behind the object and pulls out the note. It is a crumpled piece of white paper, she goes to read it when, a white cloth is held over her mouth by Jackson, her eyes close sleepily.

She wakes up again, in the same location as the first scene, but this time Jackson X has a leather case, he opens it and retrieves a manila folder with the words ‘CLASSIFIED’ written in red on the front of it. He approaches Sarah, this time her mouth is not taped, he holds in front of her the key she had retrieved from the letter box in the house she had been at. “I have to thank you Agent Sarah X, the agency has been searching for this key, for a very long time. When I retrieved you from Dr. Schinkes house I knew you would do my job for me, one by collecting the key to Dr. Schinkes lab and two by finding the letter you left for yourself yesterday. You see, we were partners before...well before an incident we encountered at the lab we were working undercover in. Listen, I didn’t want things to end this way, how was I supposed to know the agency would send out a warrant against you.” Sarah remains silent. Jackson hands her the letter and says “It’s blank, I checked before, obviously you’re not as smart as the agency or I had presumed.” The camera swoops to reveal Sarah’s face, she’s smiling. Jackson starts screaming, his hands are a fiery red. He drops to his knees. The screen goes black. Two gun shots are heard. The words ‘The End’ appear on the screen. Screen fades out.
