Filming

Rough idea of our trailer
  • Stalker theme
  • Background information- Guy is obsessed with a girl that goes to his college. He has been following her for ages through the woodland she walks through to get home and at college. She doesnt know this but soon realises and panicks. He becomes infuriated and his emotionally unstable and dangerous side is shown when he becomes violent because he cant deal with the rejection.

Rough points we want to include so far..

  • Film in a woodland area and in college because they are both easily accesible, but it may also bring the story 'closer to home'. Plus woodland will work well with it being a thriller because it is normally associated with being deserted and because we are filming in Autumn/Winter, the bleak colours and weather will add to the effect.
  • Dont want to see the stalkers face much (so have shots of feet & kats expressions) because it'll leve a bit more mystery and we dont want the audience becoming too familiar with the stalker, therefore becoming more comfortable when hes on the screen as this will reduce tension.
  • Lots of fading between shots especially at beginning.Then towards the end, where we intend to have a very fast paced collection of shots with a cliff hanger end, just use clean cuts to show everythings coming to a dramatic end.
  • Make Aiden's (stalker) eye a main point because it'll tie in with the print side of our work and it reminds the audience that he's watching her.
  • Include dialogue - kat on the phone to him because he's persistantly calling her
  • Dont want to give too much away because its not a full sized trailer so we need to be careful with what we actually do and dont show
