Opening Sequence Features

As a group we decided what features we wanted to include in our opening sequence.  We took into account that we wanted our characters to contrast as much as possible, with the girl (victim) being represented in light colours and the boy (enemy) being presented in dark colours.  Also, when they are together it is a mixture. The features include:

• Costumes
• Props
• Mise-en-Scene
• Sound
• Lighting

Costumes:
Girl - black trousers/leggings, light top and cardigan, uggs and coat.
Boy - black trousers, black top, black coat and dark shoes.

Props:
Girl - phone, make-up, laptop, clothes, bag, shoes and iPod.
Boy - phone and knife.

Mise-en-Scene:
Girl - tidy room, mirrors, purple room and girl features in room.
Boy - dark kitchen

Sound:

• Door slamming
• Speech
• Heavy breathing
• Overexaggerated footsteps
• Snapping of twigs
• Screams

Lighting:

• Fairly light in bedroom - turns dark when exits room.
• Light in landing, goes into darkness when going downstairs.
• Darkness outside of house and walking.
• Some lighting down alleyway - mostly dark.
