In today's media lesson, our group decided to complete the filming for scene 1. We needed to find an appropriate location to film, and so we chose to film down a quiet road so we were able to hear our characters and there dialogue. We filmed a variety of shots all of which had different camera angles and view points so we could have a range of shots incorporated in our opening sequence. Our stalker Vincent (Matthew Clark) needed to 'accidentally' bump into our main character Sarah (Lucy Parsons). This scene is the beginning of our stalkers obsession, where the audience first see how Vincent behaves around his victim. We used a point of view, hand held shot for Vincent. This is able to make the audience feel as though they are the stalker, and challenges the conventions of a thriller, as the audience are usually the view point of the victim and are supposed to like them. In this case, we have placed the audience in the mind set of a stalker. We used a worms eye view of our stalker walking past the camera slowly, we felt this created anticipation and possibly narrative enigma as the audience are unaware of who's footsteps they are witnessing.
