Treatment

The first image we see if of a girl's hands frantically typing on a computer keyboard. The hands stop momentarily to press the play button. Rock music begins to play as she gets ready for school, we see small snippets of her routine, her facial expression is distant, vacant and detached. The camera pans over her room, it looks like any average teenage girl's room but there are objects that seem out of place, a year book comes into shot, the faces of the students are scratched out and scribbled over. We see her pulling on a dress and then a cardigan, making sure her wrists are covered. We then see small clips of her applying dark eye-make-up and pale foundation, then a silver necklace, as she reaches for the necklace the camera follows her hand and a razor blade comes into the shot, placed in a mess of jewelery. We never see the whole of her face, as some of it is always in shadow, looking as if she is hiding. As she walks out of her bedroom and slams the door, the music stops.
