Initial ideas for our film opening...

Here are just a few ideas that we jotted down as a group right at the start of our film making process;

• Graveyard scenes of children happily playing (high key lighting, nice music) then stumbling upon/realising they're in a graveyard (low key lighting, dark music). Possibly point of view shot of someone watching from the bushes?
• If we have the opening sequence inside a victim's room we could have an extreme close up eye-line shot of girl (victim) doing her make-up, then transition to stalker's eyes watching her, then back to the girl?
• Make-up could be a way of doing the title sequence?
• We could use Sarah's house/road and her Dad could play the part of the stalker?
• Charlotte could be the victim, or possibly the twins?
• Point of view shot of the stalker following the victim, noise of something crunching underfoot makes the victim turn around and the camera moves quickly away as if hiding from her?
• Darkroom possible location? Perhaps the stalker takes pictures of his victims beforehand and after the killing? (Possible idea for title sequence)
• Use of alleys?

Not all of these ideas will be used but this was just a quick brainstorm that we did very early on in the process of making our film opening.
