As we open the shots in the dangerous looking road, we see a woman who looks like she’s
running from someone. She moves with urgency and a primal fear. A simple camera move or
cut reveals what she sees-- a man wearing a jacket with a mask on his face. The shot surfaced
again on the view of the woman, as the woman blink her eyes the camera also shuttered. But the
man disappeared. As the woman turned her head, she saw the man in front of her. And she
screamed.

The camera arises filming a fine morning, a woman who is an aspiring writer was busy
doing something on her laptop. The camera then zooms what she’s doing. It reveals that she’s
copying the script of a big movie. The script of that movie was leaked. The shot goes to her face
with a joyous smile thinking that she finally found the leaked script that everyone is looking.
The next sequence is told through a scene of a phone call. The writer receives a news from her
boss saying the pirated script she sent was then shared to a website called WritePad.

When we cut back again to the woman screaming in the road, she was actually the aspiring
writer. A fast paced scenes of her murder appears. The camera shifted to the mask of the killer
down to the bloody weapon he used.

The last scene slowly fade away. The aftereffect of the camera now shows a young boy
wearing a his casual clothes while reading a newspaper. The camera move to focus on his face
which is now painted with nervousness and fear. The article that he was reading was about the
murder that happened on their village last night. The shot stayed on the young boy’s face but
was soon interrupted by a notification on his phone. The biggest movie of the year is now
showing. The camera rivets on his face as he thinks of his job. A flashback about his job was
shown. The young boy was recording a video of a movie in a theater and sell it in forms of CD.
Subsequent the flashback follows the current situation of the young boy. He was now in the
theater recording the said movie.

Sequential to the last shot, he’s now in his home. The camera moves to what he is doing. He
is now arranging the CDs he will sell tomorrow. As the camera focuses on the scene, a loud
sound of a falling object was heard on the background. When the young boy turned, the camera
also turned to focus on the next scene. The young boy silently got up and walks in front of a
hanging curtain. When the young boy pull the curtain, he was devastated to see a man with a
mask on his face. In a blink of an eye and a one second shutter of the camera the young boy was

MeTube. The camera move slowly to the side of the lady facing her laptop. A mischievous smile
appeared on her lips. The lady thinks that if she will upload a movie on MeTube, many would
subscribe to her. The camera then focuses on the scene where she is talking to herself because of
that idea. A week passed by the lady was very happy because of the success of her idea. She has
reached a thousands of new subscribers. The scene was shifted where she was busy fiddling her
phone and she felt someone is brushing her hair. She turned slowly but no one is at her back.

shot moves slowly going to the girls. The two girls were fighting because they haven’t decide on
what to do with the high-definition movie they have. The girl with the porcelain skin suggested
that they can share the HD movie but their friends must pay. Or they can conduct a film showing
on their school. The camera shifted to the other girl with a bronze skin and she suggested to just
