The opening of the film starts with a black out that slowly changes into a high crane establishing shot above the camping site in the woods.

'A Film Produced By Cloudy Village Productions' appears onto the screen and goes away when the camera starts to zoom into the camp.



The establishing shot zooms down into the camp and lands onto the floor and turns into a black out.


The camera then turns into one of the groups self recording camera with a timeframe in the corner of the screen.



'Edited By Mea, Hannah, Rachel and Taylor' appears onto the screen for a couple of seconds while the camera is going in and out of focus.

While Tim looks at the camera and talking to Chad 'Music by Hannah, Rachel, Taylor and Mea' appears on the screen.



Tim is at the end of the line of the group, he moves the camera in his hands and points it at everybody in the group to then show them seeing up the tents.





The tittle 'Staring' appears in the middle of the screen.


Tim has set up the camera to film them setting up the tent while the girl in white is in the background with out them knowing. Then George Hales as Chad, Alex Rowden as Billy, Ophelia Wilson as Jodie and Ashley Paddick as Tim all appear in the corner of the screen 3 seconds after each other.

The camera gets turned off by Tim.



Tim turns the camera back on and says 'so guys who is getting the fire wood then?' Billy saying a joke to jodie and then Chad say 'guess all get it then' and he goes off.


There is shots of Chad walking back to the camp with wood in his hands then there is quick sharp shots of the girl in white running and attacking Chad then killing him.


Tim turns the camera back on and Jodie say 'guys where is Chad?', no one knows where he is and from this Tim has a conversation with the rest of the group and he decide to go and look for him then walks of.



then there is shots of Tim walking with his phone recording as he forgot the camera.


Tim then starts to run as he hears twigs breaking behind him, as he runs he falls over and drops his phone. This scene is a point of view shot of Tim, a high pitched tone appears to show that Tim has hurt his head.The girl in white then appears in front of Tim slowly walking towards him and then hitting him unconscious.



The screen goes blank.



The camera turns on and is being recorded from a self videoing camera but this time its not being held and filmed by Tim it is being video by the girl in white.


You can see the girl videoing her feet walking from the group towards her dangerous tools and then showing the tools layed out along the woodland floor. She picks up the tools one by one before she picks the right tool to kill them with.



The girl turns around while still videoing and pointing the camera at the group showing them all tied up the trees and struggling to escape and then she go closer to Jodie with a knife then she drops the camera and the screen goes blank.



At the end the screen will go blank and the words '20 years later' will slowly start to show bold in the middle of the blank screen.
