Here are some possible locations and shot ideas for our sequence:
Location 1 - My House
The first location we need for our opening is a house which will be where the daughter is babysitting, this is a large part of our opening scene so we need to make sure that we choose a location where we will be able to capture all the right angles, it also needs to have a good filming space around the house as there will be several shots as we see the killer looking into her house from the outside We have decided to use my house for this part of our opening as mu house has good angles from which we can see into her house and also her front door opens easily without a key, so this is a good way of the killer accessing her house. She also has good views from each room which enable us to film from the angles we wanted to.
The top right image is a shot from the staircase up to my second floor, this is a shot which we will see the killer going up, this works for our opening because the room on the back wall is the bathroom which the girl will be killed in, which can forebode what is going to happen as we will be able to hear the bath water running and possible see the girl moving about in the bathroom. This show also works well as it shows the closeness of the rooms which is needed when we see the killer walk from one room the other, this will build tension as we will see how close he is to the girl. The image on the left is from my younger sisters room, this will be useful for when the girl goes to check on her younger sister who is asleep in bed and goes over to the window to shut the blind while the mysterious man is watching her, the view from this window gives a good shot of the area where we will have POV shots of the killer coming towards the house. This shot will be earlier on in our opening and before this there will be POV shots of the killer walking towards the house The last shot is of the bathroom where the girl is going to be killed. The angle we will be using this room for is the POV shot of the dead girl where we are looking up at the dad who finds her body hanging over the bath. This room has a good space on the floor for the girls body to be slumped so it we'll look mor realistic rather than a little cramped space. Also the bath is in good line with the doorway so that when the POV shot is looking up towards her dad, it is at a good angle, and the dad doesn't haven't to walk any further around etc. to get the shot we want.
Location 2 - Beth's House
For the second section of our opening we needed a second house as we watched our next character get ready to go on her run. For this house we needed a shot where we could film by the front door and see a TV in the background as a news report on the attack of the first girl would be playing. The best house for this is Beth's as when you film from her front door you can see into her living area and the TV is at a diagnanol, this will allow for us to be filming the girl but with the TV running in the background which links together the first section to the current section.
Location 3 - The River
After we have filmed the girl leaving her house we need to film her running along the river, this is the next important part of our opening as we are re-introduced to the killer as her is watching her from inside the bushes. We decided to use the river which runs along Ware, but we are using the section of the river behind the library as there is a bridge which we want to use for the girl to run over and a bush opposite where the killer will be hiding.
