My opening begins as follows:
- Montage of teenage girl ("scream queen" type) getting ready for a run & texting her friend
- Girl sets off for run, friend has not yet replied
- Girl runs through cemetery
- (Lighting begins to dim) Girl gets more and more uneasy, keeps checking her phone (hopeful moment when it gets a text, but its just spam (with a 'seemingly random' message))
- (Heart rate raisers: girl realizes cemetery is abandoned and it's darkening, feels uncomfortable, something in the peripheral (turns, nothing is there,) an out of place noise, non-diegetic music changes pace, camera switching from close-ups of the girl looking panicked to p.o.v shots of something watching her.)
- Tension reaches climax with the girl breaking into a blind-panic sprint, becoming confused, breathing heavily and on the verge of tears, before getting tangled and tripped up
- Suddenly out of nowhere, the friend she was texting appears.
- Her friend calms her down, they talk briefly ("Sorry i didn't reply, my phone was out of credit",) and she laughs it off, but still feels slightly uneasy. She tries to ignore the feeling of something still not being right.
- Both set off to finish the run
- As the camera watches them disappear around a corner, a text alert goes off
- The camera pans down to the ground to reveal the girls phone (which she dropped amongst the leaves in her panic)
- The text on the phones screen is from her friend, ("Hey! Super sorry, just got ur txt - cn't run 2day 'cuz i'm baby-sitting. Wanna run 2morrow? xxx")
- The scene ends with a (non-diegetic) slasher noise as an audio bridge and a cut to a black title screen with the main title ("The Impersonation Game")
