Treatment And Logline

 Log Line
A young, innocent 7 year old girl, living at home with just her mother, becomes the centre of attention to a stalker. The stalker becomes more and more obsessed with the girl until he decides to kidnap. Its thoughts become more twisted as he keeps diaries of her routines in the guest to capture her. 

Treatment 


A young girl, is being watched by a psychopathic stalker who watches her every move and follows her paths as she unknowingly lives her daily life with her single parent mother. However they are completely unaware that their lives were about to change when the stalking becomes obsessive and plans began to form.His life starts to revolve around her, as he progressively keep photographs and diaries of her daily routines, becoming determined to capture her.
The mother begins to grow suspicious, seeing a man present as they play in the park and take walks to school. This suspicion becomes aware to the stalker, making him become uncomfortable and identified. This causes a change in action, which speeds up his plot to take the young girl. As his curiosity grows he starts to talk  the mother making himself seem ordinary as he reveals himself to the mother and daughter

Being the 1960's, paedophilia was not recognized as an issue, therefore making his plot very easy. The stalker proceeds with his kidnapping, following the young girl and her mother as they walk home from school through the woodland. As the child runs ahead, he strikes, pulling the young girl backwards as he suffocates the mother. Hopelessly the young girl cries for help while watching her mother being beaten to the ground by a stranger, giving the stalker opportunity to escape with her daughter, while she lay unaware and helpless in the middle of the wood.

The stalker takes the young girl to a small shack, which he had been creating especially for her. They remain here for weeks, whilst the mother pleads for justice in hospital. Whilst being kept captivated the young girl had been creating a hole which finally becomes big enough for her to escape. 
Her father who has only ever seen his daughter through the photographs in the newspaper, spots her as she scatters around alone, confused and gagging for help. He takes her to her mother in hospital who was suffering from severe injuries, and soon passes away, leaving the young girl with only a father she barley knew. Eventually she ends up living with her father.
