Starting to plan our opening

Location
After throwing a few ideas around we knew we wanted to have 3 filming locations in total, we wanted one of them to be in a house, another to be in an alleyway and the final location to be in an isolated field or wood. We want to get across the idea of a kidnapp so it is nescessary to have more than one location.
The first location would be in the house, we are thinking of having the criminal sat at a table with pictures infront of him of his victim, we thought by being at a house it would make it more personal. The second location would be down a narrow alleyway, where the kidnapp would take place, by it being down a alleyway it adds an air of mystery to the opening and makes it more tense. The third location would be in a random field or wood to give the sense of isolation and adds suspense.

Our first idea was to film the location in Bourne woods, as it was close to wear we live and easy to get to, however after a lot of thought we thought it was too much of a typical thriller location. Although we did want it to be thriller like, we wanted our opening to be different from most and make it unique to us. I think it was crucial we got the right location for our opening, and Bourne woods different fit our specification.

Costume/ Props


                                                  Attacker:
He will be in very dark clothing from head to toe, a hoodie or maybe a large dark coat would be best to achieve this look. The type of clothing is important as it can add tension to the whole opening. A hoodie will be able to cover the attackers face and will grip the audience more as they will be trying to figure out who the attacker is.
The attacker should also be wearing big black boots to show power and aggression towards the audience. I think the attacker should have a loop of rope with him as this will act as his weapon.
                                                  




 Victim:
The vulnerable girl will be dressed in a school uniform, this will consist of a white blouse, black school trousers, a blazer and a tie. She will also be carrying a school bag and will be listening to music as she walks down the alleyway. By being in a school uniform, it highlights the fact she is young, vunerable and innocent. it also shows helplessness and has no power at all compared to the attacker.
Her tie will be used by the attacker to tie her hands together and the rope will be used to tie her feet up.
