Programme: Killing between the lines
Duration: 5minutes
Audience: Those interested in a psychological/crime thrillers and also suitable for those who enjoy films with neo-noir aspects. Rated 15 due to imitable violent behaviour though mostly implied violence.
Anyone above this age may find this enjoyable, though a student audience may find it most appealing.
Resume: Andrew Francis is an unstable man he believes that his wife, Maria Francis, is unaware of him being a serial killer. He writes the accounts of the murders in his diary and narrates the film. There are flashbacks of murders of girls whilst he is writing in a diary and narrating them. The first killing in the film shows outside a tunnel where it seems he is following the girl and kills her with a brick. The second killing is where it seems he's following a girl down a ginnel and kills her with by repeatedly beating her then walking away after the murder has taken place. He returns home and gets a drink from the fridge, he realises his wife is in the kitchen with a gun pointing at him, she pulls the trigger and shoots him dead. There's a flashback of Maria putting pills in Andrew's drink to show she's been drugging him and giving it to him. Flash backs occur of the previous killings but reveal it was actually Maria who had killed those people (wearing the same clothes as the figure). The films ends with Maria writing in the diary in which Andrew was writing in, she closes it and puts it back on the shelf. She walks out of the room shutting the door behind her.

a) Sin City-like neo-noir effects for flashbacks
