Our Initial Ideas

Me and Emily have agreed on the title of our opening sequence: "He's Coming After You" and the filming location, which will take place at Abbey Wood Ruins.

The narrative structure of the film will be Non-Linear as it will have two scenes (at the park and at the stalkers house) occurring throughout the film.

After several attempts in trying to come up with a Logline, we decided that this will suit our title sequence the best:
"An obsessive stalker deeply in love with his ex-girlfriend, avenges her by murder".

Change in Scene 10:
We have decided to change the last scene of our title sequence. Our original idea was the stalker walking behind the person grabbing her shoulder, dropping her iPod in shock in slow motion and the heart monitor going flat (signifying that the stalker has killed her).
We have changed it to the person walking through the park, the audience sees the stalker coming out from behind the trees, instead following her like expected, he turns around and walks away in the opposite direction. The person carries on walking and meets a friend at the other end of the walkway and starts off a brief conversation; the person talks about how she thinks she was being followed by someone.

This is the conversation between the person and the friend:
Friend - "Hey, are you alright? You look a bit worried."
Person - "Yeah, I'm fine, just thought I was being followed."
Friend - "What, again! That's like the fifth time in two weeks!"
Person - "I know, it's probably nothing."
Friend - "I'm not so sure. I don't think you should be walking through here on your own anymore. It's getting too freaky."
Person - "It's fine, honestly. As I said, it's probably nothing. Now come on, let's go." (The person looks over her shoulder).

In addition, we have made changes to scene 7:
- Our first idea was the door opening to reveal a room covered in pictures of the person being stalked and the camera filming all the pictures and everything else in the room.
- Me and Emily decided that it would be rather difficult to get a whole room completely covered in pictures.
- A door opens and the camera moves into the room to reveal a small table in the middle of the room, covered in pictures of the person being stalked. The camera moves forward and has a close-up shot of the pictures on the table.

Things to do for the change in this scene:
- Get white sheets to cover up the computer desk and chest of drawers to give the room an eerie effect, the house is not an original family home but the stalker lives in a strange ghostly home.
- The blinds on the windows will be messed up, hanging half down and the other half is caught up. It will also be half open and half shut to make the room look quite dark and this will give the room an creepy light and a strange atmosphere.

In our Media lesson, after listening to Granite and Axe Grinder by Pendulum, me and Emily decided that the song Granite will best suit our opening title sequence.
The music sounds eerie, especially at the beginning of the song, which builds up suspense. The only problem is finding copy-right free music, if we are unable to find it, we will have to use another music.
