Today after school, our group decided to film the last scene of our opening sequence, which consisted of the 'shed' scene. This is perhaps the most important scene within the opening sequence as it finally shows the audience how Vincent (the stalker) had become completely obsessed with Sarah (innocent girl) and the collection of data he had collected on her. We began the scene by getting to the location and creating a few more props to place on the set. We had initially created a few images for this location, however, upon creating some test shots, we decided to create more images to put up. Once this had been completed, we filmed the first scene where Vincent is seen as a dark shadow walking across his garden towards the shed. We used a variety of shots to build tension and create an eerie atmosphere such as extreme close ups. The next scene consisted of various shots within the shed, finally allowing the audience to witness the extreme lengths the stalker had gone to find all the images and documents of the Sarah. We filmed a variety of shots to give the full impact of the scale of this investigation, and hint to what it may lead to. The use of hanging a large axe within the shed created a somewhat disturbing mood, creating narrative enigma and whether the stalker may use this weapon later on within the film. We also tried some shots zooming into an image that would cross dissolve, when editing, to the clips we had filmed within earlier sequences, creating a continuous flow of footage of Vincent stalking his victim. The final step was to film potential title credits with the name of the opening sequence 'Obsessed'. We found that the glass on the shed had misted over due to the cold, and had the idea of writing the title of our film upon this glass so that it could be seen through the light. We carried out some test shots, and if the results have come out well, it could be that we use this footage rather than titles created on Live Type.
