Plot summary: The titles are shown with a voice over of Stacey Leigh who is a 17 year old girl, The shot shows Stacey talking to an unknown person in a room that looks like and interrogating room. Within this section there will be flash backs and it will show you what happened to her along with her talking to the person as a voice over (this is for the audiences benefit only so they can see what she went through rather than just hearing about it when she is talking to the person in the room.) This carries on throughout the film showing her life progress into child abuse, drugs and then finally dispair and she ends up turning to someone for support and help, this is the person that is in the room with Stacey. Then as the tape finishes and goes back to the fuzzy screen of the TV, the camera then zooms out slowly to reveal the location which is a dark room where her body lays on the floor underneath the TV, with only the light from the TV illuminating her silhouette. The audience then realise that the sequence they have just watched was actually a video of the girl shown in her final hours, and it was too late to save her before she committed suicide, although before she did decide to take her own life, she went and got help as a last hope but nothing could get rid of the memories, it was too much to handle anymore, and the only thing she left behind was the video in the TV from just a few hours ago.

Suggested elements: Flashbacks are included, nonlinear story line, Narrative voiceover , twisting plot, this is what makes are film different from others .
