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.

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

Costumes

Things are going to be kept very natural/ realistic

    - having characters in common clothes

      Nothing extravagant

      or dramatic
- mel- obsessive character probably wear dull clothing - maybe lots of ring

    

Storyline - basic ideas

We are going to base out opening on similar effects to what the thriller 'Seven'

- we aim to have plenty on little quick snappy shots

- they will be using diaries, date/times
- shot at clock expressing times changing
- bible - cross - writing - old diary

- person in dark gloomy room, showing bad person
- other two characters within a more happier yet isolated area

- filming girls just walking to place - their feet, over shoulder to half their face
- two characters within the park - meeting up, quick flashback to them
- using one character to be the OCD obsessive person

Fonts and colour schemes

Colour schemes 

it is important to get this right, for example if you have bubbly pink writing, it will set the wrong impression for the rest of the film, creating the wrong atmosphere. first ideas:

• grey 
• black
• neutrals 
• dull lightings done by camera work ( could be edited on final cut)

Either embracing the idea of color opposites ie light and dark in any of the settings, costumes. Or staying away from it and shooting in gloomy settings and having costumes be plain.
