Shot List

Shot 1

The first shot we had in our film was a close up of a lamp. We also ended with this shot this is a little trick we learned from our director inspiration which is Christoper Nolan. Christopher Nolan is known for ending the film where the narrative starts he usually do this by using a flashback or a scene from the end of the movie. The light opening the first time suggest that the narrative is starting in a new setting.

Shot 2

The second shot was a high angle shot of a montage of pictures of the victim. This shows that the victim is vulnerable by showing her photos on high angle. This creates that the villain is more dominant because this shows an image that the villain is looking down on the victim. This also highlights the idea that the villain is capable of doing this suggest that he is more dominant.The girl unaware of the situation would highlight that she is inferior because the villain could strike at any moment. This idea is seen in our opening as the victim is arrogantly unaware who is calling her and who just entered her house.

Shot 3

Our next shot was a medium shot showing the villain looking through the window, trying to figure out if the girl is at home. As we can't see his face it builds up tension and creates a better narrative for a longer film as this would be one of the key to keep the the audience interested in the plot.

Shot 4

Shot of the villain trying to get into the house is a medium shot. We used medium shot instead of a long-shot or a close up because we wnted to focus on the villain's action.

Shot 5

High angle shot of a montage of pictures of the victim. This shows us -again- that the victim is vulnerable by showing all of the  photos on high angle.

Shot 6

Second part of shot number 4, the villain is finally getting into  the house and it's medium shot. This is when the tension really builds up.

Shot 7

High angle shot of pictures of the girl, filmed from stalkers point of view.

Shot 8

Over the shoulder shot -this shot is framed from behind the villain who is writing stuff over the pictures. This shot helps to establish the position of the villain and get the feeling of looking at one person from the other's point of view. The villain would just e seen to be drawing some ritual. The use of a tint red in the background helps the audience establish that the character is the villain.

Shot 9

Long shot of stalker, showing his entire body with the head near the top of the frame and the feet near the bottom. He was filmed from the back to make him look more mysterious and dangerous.

Shot 10

Close up of mobile telephone ringing the girl. This shot shows very little background in order to make audience focus on the main  object - telephone. This shows the importance of him ringing her and shows how obsessed and mad he is.

Shot 11

Close up of the girl's mobile phone, we can clearly see that someone is ringing her from unknown number. We have used this shot to create dramatic atmosphere.

Shot 12

Our next shot is a shoulder shot framed from a behind a girl in everyday life situation - using her laptop and the answering the phone call from unknown number. We can't see her face and she doesn't expect anything bad happening and in fact it build s up more tension. 

Shot 13

Extreme close up shot of stalker walking up the stairs to the girls room. We have decided to film it this way in order to create a dramatic effect.

Shot 14
This shows a man walking up the stairs from below, giving audience the impression of him being much more powerful and dominant. It also shows how vulnerable and defenseless the girl is.

Shot 15
Medium shot of the girl in her bedroom, this shot shows some more detail of the action and shows very clearly girls reaction to stalker coming into her room. She looks very shocked, surprised (as she wasn't expecting anything bad happening) and scared. Dropping the phone on the floor tells us that she doesn't have a clue what to do and what is going to happen to her.

Shot 16
An over the shoulder shot of the villain stabbing the knife into the pictures of the girl. Last scene of our opening sequence shows us how crazy and dangerous the stalker is, it suggests that he might want to kill the girl. It leaves the audience unsure and makes them wonder what is going to happen to the girl. This keeps the narrative more interesting.

Shot 17
Our thriller logo closes our opening sequence. As the screen turned black; this suggest that this part of the film is over and as the light turned on again to show our title highlights that the main story is just about to start.
