Risk Assessment

There are not many hazards which are going to a problem when filming our piece, we only have two locations which we are filming in. One of them is going to be a small dark room with only a small light source, the risk in this is because its dark and there is a chance of falling over filming equipment due to not being able to see where we are going. This is the same problem with our other location, we are using another room but there will be more lighting so there will be less chance of tripping over equipment. We are going to clear everything that is unnecessary to us and move it out of our filming area to reduce the chance of causing an accident. In our production piece we have a wall full of photos of the victim, the biggest hazard in our production was taking these photos. We wanted to take pictures of the victim in her normal day life so this involved taking photos by the road and out on the street and other locations, we had to make sure that we were not in danger of being hit by any cars by checking the roads before we took them.

Initial Ideas

• Female victim tied to a chair
• Mysterious male
• No face shots of the male
• Two characters
• Wall full of pictures
• Montage of the stalking male
• Only two locations

We want to make a thriller opening which creates a lot of mystery, we want the audience to question what is going on and who are the characters. By having many elements such as a blind folded girl and shots of a man from behind without showing his face it leaves a lot of unanswered questions, this creates tension and gets the viewer interested.

Experimental Pictures

Storyboard

1) the first shot fades from black to a shot of the victim from behind, she is blind folded and tied to a chair. The camera pans around the victim. The victim is disorientated and scared.

2) The next shot we a close up of a map with circled locations on it, there are also photos pinned up around the map. The camera slowly pans across the map.

3) This is another shot of the victim from a different angle, the camera continues to pan around the victim.

4) The camera cuts back to panning across the map, this creates a sense of mystery and makes the viewer want to know what the significance of the map is.

5) The shot fades to black with the production name and a cast name.

6) In this next shot we see a close up of somebodies hands cut out a photograph of a girl, this makes the audience interested in finding out who the girl is.

7 ) The shot cuts back to the front of the girl tied to the chair.

 8) The shot cuts to more credits.

9)  The credits fade to a close up shot of some of the pictures around the map.

 10) In this shot we see a close up of someones hands putting a photograph of a girl up on a wall, this makes the audience want to know who the girl is and why there so many photographs of her.

11) This is another shot of the victim tied to a chair from a different angle.

12) The previous shot fades to black and the title of the film appears.

13) The shot fades from black to the camera panning around the victim from behind her.

14) In this shot we see a wall with the map and all the photographs of the girl around it, there are also other things pinned up around the map.
