Script

Characters:
Old man – deliberately kept with no name throughout
Young woman/teenager – Jane

Plan – two scenes shooting identical ideas but contrasting between the two

Start of the opening sequence:
Production Company Logo shows then fades to a black screen
Opening sequence starts:
The old man is sitting at the table with a number of candles lit around him - the camera is concentrating on the arrangement of this table, when the man’s hand is exposed to light the final candle.
There is complete silence in the background.
The camera at this point is still centring on the hand.

Old man “Perfect”
Picks up his knife and fork.

Gentle and romantic music starts to play.
Credit appears on top of the scene; director 

The camera gradually moves up (over the shoulder shot) to the man until finally were in contact with his face.

Old man – “Would you like some wine?”
The man picks up the bottle of wine which is centred likewise on the table.
The camera follows his arm down the table and then a fade-in fade-out is used.

[The location has changed to demonstrate to the audience the definite reality of what is actually happening as an alternative to what the man is seeing in his head]

The camera is still focusing on his arm.
He finishes filling up the glass for the person which he is speaking to.

The music is still playing; however from this point onwards the man doesn’t say anything else.

The camera slowly rises and pans around the setting, until it ultimately reaches the person he is speaking to on the other side of the table. 
A girl which is tied to a chair with tape around her mouth struggling.

The rest of the credits are shown on top of the scene; actors
Narrative enigma is immediately created leaving the audience curious as to why she is tied up, but also why the man in his mind is consuming a pleasant meal with her.
