Proposal

The opening scene starts with a young lady, walking home at night. She opens her door and walks into her house, hanging her keys on the wall. As she begins to take her shoes and coats off and places her mobile which no longer has charge on the front table. She presses her answering machine to see if there has been any voice-mail messages left. The voice from the machine says "You have 6 new messages". She presses play and then starts heading towards the kitchen to grab a drink from the fridge. Simultaneously, the first message is being played.  "Message received today at 3.03pm - "Hi darling, I'm just calling to remind you that I've booked a reservation at Il Forno which is a lovely little Italian Restaurant..." She cuts the message.
"Message received today at 5.46pm - "Hey, It's Mandy. I can't seem to reach you on your mobile. But yeah, call me back when you get this". Jade takes another sip from her bottle, and plays the next message.
"Message received today at 5.49pm - "Jade, where are you? I need to talk to you!" Jade looks at the answering machine with a confused expression. She plays the next message.
"Message received today at 5.55pm  - "( Mandy can be heard crying) Oh god Jade, they know.(more crying) they know it's us!!! i don't know what to do now....(more crying)"
"Message received today at 5.57pm - "I never told you this, but he called me, Jade, he said he knew who we were.........I hear someone.......I think he's here (in a whispered voice)......*silence*" Then a sudden outburst of screaming which is then muffled by the killer's hand. The phone cuts."
Jade continues to look at the answering machine in shock. She steps back. She places her hands over her mouth, and her eyes start to water.

Whilst this narrative is happening, we have cross-cuts of the killer walking towards Jade's house with extreme close ups of his feet as we don't want to reveal to much of this identity. As the messages reveal more information, the killer gets closer to the house, and we see his hand opening the gate and door.

Right at the end, with Jade's reaction to the messages, we see the killer slowly creeping in the background.
