Scene by Scene outline

Scene 1: John walks down a hallway into the office where he works, which is a room full of computers and TV monitors. A monologue is heard in the background illustrating who John is in the first person, though John's lips do not move. The monologue is in the past tense.

Scene 2: John has a conversation with a Co-worker (Greg), which further illustrates John's background. This short conversation informs the viewer of John’s marital status, his satisfaction with his job, and his future plans (vacation). The purpose of this is to give the viewer a glimpse of John’s personality and background before the events to come.

Scene 3: John pulls up to his chair with a monitor in front. The monologue returns, showing John's thought process as he sits down and starts to work.

Scene 4: Camera goes to the monitor. eventually John's wife (Laura) walks across the screen holding a stranger's hand, as if they are together

Scene 5: Camera flashes to John's face and reaction, then flashes back to moniter as the couple get into a car and drive to a house, all the while being followed virtually by John (variety of camera angles necessary here)

Scene 6: John gets out of the chair, runs out of the office, and runs into his car. There is another monologue illustrating John’s thought processes (feelings of betrayal, planning course of action, etc). The monologue begins when John enters the car and continues as the camera shows john driving to the house.

Scene 7: John parks in front of the house, gets out of the car, and opens the door.

Scene 8: John is alone in the main room of the house. He hears loud shreiks coming from a room with a closed door. John pulls out his handgun and opens the door.

Scene 9: John opens to door to find Laura sitting alone, waiting for him. John puts down the gun. Laura explains to John that she was not really having an affair, but wanted to see if John was using his work to stalk her. John tries to explain, but Laura tells him that she is tired of being watched and wants a divorce. Laura walks out of the room.

Scene 10. John is in the room alone. After a close up of John's face, John leaves behind his gun and his cell phone and walks out of the room.
