Detailed Synopsis

Start
Our Film opening will begin with a flashback. This Flashback will first contain a point of view shot from 'Molly' in the back of her parents car. We see the two parents (without sound) shouting at each other, distracted from the road. The next shot will be from a camera on the road, moving forwards, asif it were the car. This camera will be met with the blinding lights of another car. We see another shot from the inside of the car, of the parents panicking and braking (with the sound of screeching brakes). There will then be a sound of a crash, as the screen goes Black.
Close up, overhead shot of 'Molly' waking up suddenly from her flashback/nightmare.
There is another overhead shot of 'Molly packing her suitcase which is laid on the bed. The last thing she packs is her parents funeral leaflet, which me see close up (allowing the audience to know what has happened). From overhead again, 'Molly' closes her suitcase, revealing the edited title of the film, on top of the case - 'Hightail'.
From when 'Molly' starts to pack her suitcase, we hear various different voice mails from family and friends:
Example
"Hey Molly, hope your okay, where were you last week? I didn't see you at school, ring me when you can"
"Molly, Ive tried to phone you, but you won't answer, you can't hide forever, you can speak to me, it will be okay"
"Good Afternoon Molly, its Mr Stott, I hope you are well. We are concerned of your attendance in he past week, would you kindly have your guardian call us back, to discuss the reason for this. Thank you"
GAP
"Hi darling its Grandma, hope your up and packed, let me know when you are safely on the train, me and Grandpa are excited to see you, we have everything sorted for your new school. See you soon"

Flashbacks - Go pro
Younger brother shouting, crying, "Why did you have to live and not them?!"
Walking through hospital (MAYBE)
Shots back to original crash (heavy breathing, blurred)
Shots in cemetery, Molly at grave placing down flowers.

The journey
First there will be a shot of 'Molly' walking from the platform of Leeds station, onto the Ilkley train, with her suitcase.
On the train there will be multiple shots from out of the window, at scenic views, with 'Mollys' reflection in the window - developing from the city into the countryside.
There also will be shots from outside of the train, watching the train pass through the countryside.
She will then get off the train, at Burley in Wharfdale (there is nothing around except the station).
The train doors close.
