-Mise en scene of our film;
There is one scene where the camera zooms in to a knife resting above note pads on top of the newspaper which is placed on a desk, on the newspaper is a girls face circled in a red pen, this gives connotations of murder, warning and lust. The audience get an instant idea that there is a young girl being victimised in the film, either murdered or being followed.
There are photos stuck to the wall above the desk also linking into the thought of murder and someone stalking them.
We have a scene in the woods, this was in Hitchin in the dell, we used a Windy path so it was easy to run whilst holding the camera, this scene works well to create uncertaincy in the film.
Lastly, we filmed at Alanah's house, in her long hall way, i like this scene as everything is placed in the scene as you would see any other house. The shots then go down the stairs into a cellar. We moved things out of the cellar to make it look empty, which gave off a cold, spine chilling feeling.
We also set up 'the dark room' at Hitchin Girls school, we changed the lighting so the room was the right brightness and we made a glowing red colour by putting a red cover over the lights.
I also got hold of some pictures off google and flickr.com and i hung them up on the pegs where the photos would be developed in the room, i filmed the photos with the background light flickering on to them. I really liked this effect in the film.
-Audio;
We tried to find something un-copyrighted for a backing track but nothing sounded effective and went well with the speed of our film.
We used the artist Charlie Clouser, his music appears in the Saw films, but luckily for us his music isn't a well known track. Its called Just Begun.
-Location;
We tried to film in Codicote woods where i live because it was a quite area and a large woods, we would get a good effect when dusk, but group members found it hard to get there at the same time, so when we could of filmed it was too dark!

so we then filmed in Hitchin, and had help from our actor Laurence Goldsmith in getting there.
We also then decided that our film would look better the darker it is, but have two flash lights to show more confusion and so the audience have to really focus onto the screen.
But we adjusted the brightness and contrast on the macs, this made our shots grainy, but we loved the effect to kept it in as it made an even better chaotic effect to the scene.
Many locations were used in our shots ;
The desk scene was set up in Alanah's living room.
The darkroom shots were held in the dark room at Hitchin Girls' School art department.
The shots of a 'man' walking down the stairs was held Alanah's cellar.
-Character Planning
When we first planned our opening we liked the idea of having a tall big bulky man dressed in all black with bulky shoes as that was our main focus we wanted to get, and fragile girl dressed in innocent white to give a contrast on the personality's of the characters.

Alanah Sullivan was the girl because whilst we were filming up in the Dell, there was a creepy sound and we were scared of so i told Alanah to get it on camera so it would give a real good effect on our audio, and a chaotic shot. I then recorded Laurence’s shots in a still, slow mode to create a good contrasting effect on hierarchy of the two characters .
