Location

From the beginning it was clear that we wanted to have our main character going from a public place to and isolated place in order to make it look like she is vulnerable. We found that we could use my house in Yarnton for the first scene, then have Lauren leave my house run through a the village which is a public place. She then begins to go down a lane getting further and further away from civilization. We decided to have the stalker begin to follow her when she is is going down the lane, as this is the beginning of her getting away from the public she will look vulnerable to the audience. She then gets to the forest which is in complete isolation. We achieved this by using a range of shots of her running on her own with no contact with other people. Below are some photos of us filming in differnt locations which we used in our opening sequence.

The camera circles around the two characters just like what the werewolf is doing. I wanted to try and do something...

Main Task Brief: Film the opening sequence of a new fiction film, including titles and soundtrack to last approximately two minutes.  In our Opening sequence we need to show understanding of what makes an opening sequence. To do this we looked at opening sequences from films such as  Candyman, Zombieland  and  Catch Me if You Can . We analysed the opening sequences and tried to work out what genre the film was depending on the connotations such as type of writing, soundtrack etc.
