(Location photos) - Stage 2 and 3 of planning

This is the dark room in Long Road Sixth Form. We thought it would fit into our opening sequence very well because of the lighting, which is red and symbolises danger, and also because it creates an eerie setting. It also fits in with the plot as we centre around photographs, because of the stalker. We found very limited problems with this setting. One of the only problems we encountered, was the fact that within the dark photography room are a number of heat sensors, and so this meant we couldn't light our match within the room itself. However, through extended planning, we have worked around it and will light the match in another room with similar lighting, and also use a torch to highlight the hanging pictures in the room instead.

This is a possible setting for our second part of the opening, where the stalker has a room dedicated to the person she is obsessed with. We thought this wall was good because it is in a scary setting, an empty locker-room, and it is a central wall with a dreary, off white colour. Again, we found hardly any problems with this location. The only possible problem we found was that the location does look a bit like a school, because it is in a school, and therefore softens the eerie atmosphere. To solve this problem, we are looking into using another possible location for the second part of the opening sequence.

This is one of the test shots that we took to get an idea of what the shot would eventually look like. This is in the second part of the opening and shows the part when the stalker enters the room full of photos.
