Final Group Idea


We are introduced to Zoe, a babysitter who is in a house looking after a child (Summer). She speaks to the parents on the phone. After hanging up, she goes to the fridge and takes out a jug of red juice (signifier- red connotes blood). Whilst closing the fridge, the audience sees a masked man wearing dark clothing appear by the garden door however, she does not see this. Zoe then pours the drink into a cup. Drinking it she is startled as she hears a loud sound coming from upstairs. The drink falls from her hands and the juice pours out over the floor. Zoe runs upstairs, anxiously to see what has happened.




Pushing open the child's door, we see the room from her point of view. There are child's objects such as a rocking horse and kid's drawings. There is music playing from a ballerina jewellery box and this gives a chilling atmosphere. Slowly approaching the bed, Zoe opens the covers and is shocked to see that Summer has gone. Drawing the curtains, we see the window is open. She screams in despair shouting out Summers name.
