Damien’s Monologue in point form

(At all points of this film unless otherwise mentioned, Damien records his every move and thought with his hand-held videocam, like a private vlog/monologue/close-friend.)

• ·         Damien introduces himself and tells all he is in love with a girl from his poly, 2 years his senior.

  ·         Problem is the audience realises his love for her is not mutual and she does not even know he exists.

  ·         Damien also reveals his plan on approaching her and even singing a song to woo her on Valentines day.

  ·         Damien begins to express himself obsessively about Serene to his new vidcam.

  ·         Sometimes he talks to the bolster treating it like Serene, practicing for the real day in which he thinks he would finally meet her.

  ·         Damien proves to the camera his obsession. He unveils a secret stash of her photos to admire in his room and follows her movements under her block and other places where she frequents. She never notices.

  ·         One day, he realises Serene has got a special someone in her life.

  ·         He wages ‘war’ with her new boyfriend, thinking he is competition. He plans on outdoing him by approaching her and singing his song he wrote for her.

  ·         He tried to approach her on 2 occasions but never plucked up enough courage to even get near her.

  ·         On some accounts of his stalking, her boyfriend, Peter, catches glimpses of Daimen filming them but Damien always manages to run away before getting caught.

  ·         Damien gets very angry with himself, but gives himself another chance before valentines day.

  ·         He fails to approach her once more.

  ·         Late at night, on the first hour of valentines, almost dream like, he creeps outside Serene’s house to present himself to her.

  ·         He stops at the window of her bedroom and tries to touch her but he still couldn’t. She was too beautiful sleeping.

  ·         He lays down a stalk of rose beside her pillow and hums her song, like a lullaby.

  ·         Her hand phone rings and Damien was startled. She stirs and he withdraws. He runs as fast as he could and finally breaks down at a corner somewhere.

  ·         Suddenly he hears a shout. It was peter who also wanted to give her a surprise visit that very night.

  ·         Peter had caught sight of Damien and recognised him as the weird stalking videocam guy.

  ·         Peter beats Damien up there and snatches away the videocam and camera goes blank.

  (From this scene on, Damien is not filming. The film is now done in 3^rd person. Dolly shots/smooth movements now.)

  ·         Audience realises the entire clip they have watched is being watched by Peter on her laptop in her home the next morning.

  ·         Peter is shocked by his revelation that such a person exists.

  ·         Serene comes into the scene and asks what he was watching. Peter acts blur and changes the subject, not wanting Serene to know about Damien’s video about her.

  ·         Serene indifferently walks away into her room and never even got to know that he even existed.

  ·         Before scene closes for credits, Serene goes back into her room to choose her dress for her valentines date with Peter. She notices the rose on her bed. Curious but happy, she smells it and puts it into her handbag and leaves the room.

  ·         Credits…

  ·         *Special after credits add-on: An empty bedroom where Serene had left it as is shown once more. Suddenly Damien rises from outside the window, head bleeding from peter’s battery. Looking straight into the vidcam and then at the rose where it had been. He then just walks away mysteriously…

  ·         The End
