Planning: Treatment: Re-think

We were unable to stick with our finalised ideas because we were unable to get the shots we wanted, we still managed to get some good footage however.

There is no obvious story with our opening, it shows various clips from round the killers house/garden, such as chains and an abandoned looking play area, we filmed clips of a rattling garage door, this is to suggest someone is trapped, to add to this feeling of being trapped there are clips of keys being put way and hand marks smudged down windows, our opening shows briefly the new neighbours having their hands shook by the suspected serial killers, but the audience are not yet fully aware who they should be suspicious of, this is the element of deception, which is emphasised by calming music being played over the top.

We got our ides from the opening to se7en which we watched, it included various clips merged together to create an outline to a story, we decided to do this so our film looked more like an opening rather than a trailer.

Planning: Action Plan

Tom Bates - Director

Nicole Stephenson - Camera

Me - Mise en scene, Casting

- We plan to start filming this weekend (2nd Feb) This is the main thing that we need to get out of the way so that we can focus on the editing process. 
   Before we do this however we need to decide on our actors, this is fairly simply as we do not have any speech or a full view of someones face 
- The filming will take place at Nicoles' house, this is because its the out suitable destination, also she will be using her own camera so we can access it at all times
- The props we will need are: Something for blood and a knife
