Title: Hunter Tag Line:  Finding a man who can turn into anyone

Synopsis:   a policeman arrives at a school, walks up to the reception and asks for a teacher. The policeman then walks off to find the class. Once he finds the class, he knocks and enters. A teacher is sitting at his desk, and motions the policeman to sit down. The policeman enters, looks briefly around the room and sits down. They have a conversation about a missing girl who the teacher used to teach and whether he knows where she is. The teacher ends the conversation by saying that he has to teach a class and asks the policeman to leave. On the way out of the school,  the policeman is knocked out, and we see someone drag him away. We then see the person dragging the policeman into a cupboard, and the light switches on, and we see the policeman in the room, along with a girl, who is obviously the missing girl, and we then switch back to the teacher, who was the person who dragged him into the cupboard.

Key Genre Conventions: The protagonist is the policeman/detective trying to solve the crime of the missing girl. The genre gets into the psyche of the audience for it is as though the audience is solving the crime, along with the policeman.
