Storyline

The main idea for the opening is to have clips of scene shots. So it starts with production logo screen goes black at this point the film starts, then screen fades into black. First shot starts to appears of my feet walking down the cellar stairs then fades back into black. The tittles come on primarily at the bottom of the screen. then the next scene come from black.

SFX

Special Effects will be used to make it look more professional. Some things were taken into consideration to ensure this was possible.

Flash back scene


Blurred muffled voices- can make out some speech mainly screaming in the argument, but not clear.

During the flask back the screen will be blue/grey and hazy around the edges to show a distinct difference in reality and memory.

Events in the flash back will be in slow motion effect when they're fighting.

to go into the flash back have flash of white light at the start and end to show its a memory from abi's character.

props

we have taken some pictures of abi to show that mel has been watching abi and has been following her - we will use these photos in the opening to show the audience that mel is spying on her
these are just a few of the photos
we will always use newspaper titles we have made to how that abis sister zoe is dead!

Make up

Zoe
over the top dressy, but tear marks and makeup down her face

Mel
little to none as she does not want to stand out whilst spying but blend in.

Abi
normal makeup

Costumes

Abbie

• (actual film) brown messy boots (for close up of walking)

          dull colours but casual every day clothes

• (flash back) dressy outfit and heels

Mel

• (actual film) black boots

          dull black clothes, but still casual

• (flash back) dressy outfit more make up then usual as we will have a close up on her eye

Zoe/rachel

• (flash back) dressy outfit heels etc, just at a party make up all down her face as if she has been crying

Dialouge

We aim to have very little dialouge and use music and actions to tell the audience what is happening.

In the flashback Abi has we will have little dialouge to show that the characters are arguing.

Speech-
Abi - as approaching sister - shouts 'why did you do it, just tell me why?'
Sister - backing away- 'i didnt, i didnt i swear' -emotional and shocked as her sister is accusing her
Abi - 'theres evidence, i know you did it' - pushing sister
Sister - falling to floor - crying 'im sorry Abi, im sorry!'

Sound effects/ Music

We will create some music - some suspense music to go on throughout the opening, preferably low tone, quiet music that will gradually build up some tension yet emotion towards certain characters and make the other character seem mysterious. We aim to use garage band to create the music, yet use similar ideas to what we earlier found on youtube.

We will record some of our own sound effects-

1. muffled speech- for the flash back
2. eerie instrumentals- to be played throughout the stalker scenes
3. For tittle sequence- maybe techno beats or dark intrumental
