Our film opening idea

Basically, we have decided on making our opening based on an obsessive stalker.

The Stalker: My Dad
The victim: Charlotte

We chose to have my Dad and Charlotte in our opening because they are both reliable as Charlotte is in our group and as we were planning on filming some of our opening down my road it seemed logical to ask my Dad if he would play the part of the stalker.

We are starting it as a young girl with her friends and slowing the clip down and adding in a camera shutter sound. We have practiced this on iMovie and it looks quite effective as if the girl is having pictures taken of her. We are then moving it to a different location, this will be the stalker in the dark room. We will be putting the video camera in night mode whilst we film this part because it's dark in there and it provides a different effect and when we tested this when we got our equipment we liked the way it looked. In the dark room there will be pictures of different girls around the room that have been stalked in the past, and hanging up on the line in the dark room there will be his past victims, we were thinking of making these victims us, and somehow making our credits based around this or something along these lines.

After the dark room, the next film location is going to be down my road. We are using my friends house as it is located next to an ally down my road and very close to the other ally down my road. We are going to have my dad standing down the ally to the side of the house and Charlotte is going to walk out, it will be then that he follows her down the other ally. Charlotte will turn round whilst she's walking down the ally and nervously smile at the man behind her not knowing of his obsession with her. We are having a handheld camera shot as she looks around as he is going to move it away and make it dark as he is trying to turn away from her to avoid being seen. We will end our opening on his hand reaching out as if he is going to grab her, and then the screen going black, and just the noise of a girl's scream. We will then shoot more clips in the dark room, as he changes the picture of Charlotte on the line to a picture of her once he has killed her. We were also thinking he could possibly be looking at a picture in his hand of the next victim (possibly me) and hanging this up on the line along with Aimie, Molly, and recently 'killed' Charlotte, showing that my fate is now in his hands and the rest of the film could be based on him looking for myself.
