Opening scene

The screen starts off black, and the young girl (Grace) appears in the screen with a close up shot of her face. She looks distressed, sweaty and dirty as she has just escaped from a mental hospital where she had been staying but the doctors there do not know what her illness is. Then the shot changes to a spiral shot to a long shot and follows her running through fields in a state of panic whilst dramatic music is playing. Whilst she is running she experiences flashbacks of her stay at the hospital showing her with her hands tied behind her back on the floor with blood on her face and clothing. A doctor walks into the room and places some medication on her bedside table and seems to not to notice or care about the fact that she is tied on the floor in obvious pain. This is because this is all part of her mental illness and is not actually happening. In this shot she is showed spitting blood onto the floor and having blood on her t-shirt. This is not present in the beginning of the film but is after the flash back when the shot returns to her running through the fields. This is because with most films involving mentally ill people you see what they see and are thinking about. Before when she is first shown running she is not thinking about what happened to her whereas after the flashback where it is returned to her running again she is thinking about and so the blood is visible.

In a state of panic she begins to have loads of quick sharp flashbacks and flashes of white which rapidly appear in and out of her head. This leads her to have a panic attack and faint on the floor. The shot then goes to POV shot and you see her eyes blinking with her vision blurring fading into a blank screen.
