Locations

Park- We chose this location, as when the two are together it gives an idea of an everyday event, the idea that they regularly go here. The swings enabled us to show the before and after effects of the separation of the two girls, helping the audience to understand the effect that no longer being with her friend has given to the other girl. We hoped that this creates sympathy and helps to engage the audience.

For when the ‘stalker’ appears we chose to still be in the park as it was a unusual place and it highlighted the fact that he was following the two girls. The park proved a isolated place which helped add an extra emphasis of danger.

Box- this emphasized the idea that her friend is no longer with her. It gives the idea that she is taking all the things that mean something to the two of them and putting them away. We filmed this in a house as in reality this would be where she would be if making a memory box.

Our opening of a film is based on two best friends, who live a carefree and joyful life. Throughout the piece the audience see the girls no longer together, yet do not find out why. It shows how upset the girl is without her best friend. There are flash backs to when they were together and a memory box that helps to tie the flashbacks and the present together. There are hints that a third party may be involved in the separation of two friends yet the audience is not sure.

The opening sequence we drew influence from was the one from Scream and aspects of seven. We felt it was similar to the ideas for our main task, and in Scream the opening 2 minutes were packed with suspense and frightening scenes, but didn't reveal too much of the plot and none of it was rushed, seven includes lots of pictures which we thought was a good idea to include in our piece.
