The Hollywood Formula- Innocence

Opening Scene- The movie will open with a girl reading a newspaper article about a murder in rural Kansas. The title of the article is “Beautiful 18 year old missing for 5 days, body found” There is a picture in the margin of the girl. She flips through the newspaper and then throws it down. Then the camera goes to mirror and there is a girl looking at herself in the mirror. It’s the same girl from the newspaper. She is fiddling with her outfit and hair. Twisting, examining her body. She then takes off her shirt switches to an oversized sweater and leaves her room. Walking down a hall you can see all the doors are similar except for the number and a few have pictures on them. She gets in an elevator and gets off a floor, enters a cafeteria with a sign that says Innocence Cafeteria.

Inciting Incident- Tailynn is called down to the Gavel Room to disucss with the Dean her failure to safely place evidence on Earth. The Dean gives her a punishment of 2 days in suspension. She has to report to a room every morning at 8 and stay there until 3 in order to ensure that she isn't traveling to Earth. While in this room she meets to girls, who have been murdered by the same guy and they start to bond. They make a pact to help each other and get their killer convicted.

Subplot- The screen closes on Tailynn falling asleep and opens on a dark garage. You see a girl laying on a raised silver table. You can only see her face. The face is pale and the lips are blue, showing the girl is not just sleeping but dead. Gloved hands brush her hair off of her shoulders and reveal her shoulders allowing the viewer to assume she is nude. The hands come back into the picture this time with a necklace. The necklace has a letter D on it and is placed on the girls neck. You can see a shadow walk to a closet and take out a pink blanket. The blanket is wrapped around the girl and her body is picked up. She is carried to a open trunk and placed in. He carefully lays her down and adjusts her necklace so that the D can be easily viewed. He brushes her hair back with his hands and then closes the trunk. The screens go black with the closing of the trunk and reopens on Tailynn in her bed again, the D necklace still adorning her neck.
