London is in panic due to the repeated kidnappings that are occurring around many towns in the city. There are sightings of the kidnapper, but there is no proof that it is actually him due to the many imitators. There are no obvious links between the victims, however, once the investigation goes further, interesting revelations are revealed... The film will focus on revenge, voyeurism, stalking, fear and more. It will also focus on satirising London social attitudes.
The Narrative
The opening is based on different times and dates, although they all link to tell a story. These all come together for the end scene, when the antagonist has found his destination. Moreover, throughout the film there will be some flashbacks, giving the audience some insight of the characters lives and why certain thing have happened/happening. Sound in the opening is entirely non-diegetic. Initially we decided to have 5 words of speech; a girl saying "who is it" when the doorbell was rang, and the antagonist saying "guess who", but due to deadlines, we were unable to record any material.
The Setting
The location we filmed in was South Norwood, London. More specifically, we filmed in alleyways, a park, around a train station, bridge and outside my house. Most filming contained the actor walking. These locations were deemed suitable due to the fact that no one is hardly around these areas, which is the effect we wanted; desertion and solemness. Also, it allowed for easy filming, and we wouldn't have to ask for permission as it is in public. However, the rest of the film will take place in numerous London towns. Through this, we can create relatable locations for the audience, which will be more effective psychologically. Filming in various locations is possible due to the big budget we have to spend on our film.
We used low key lighting for most of the opening, as this best represents the dark mood we were aiming for. This way, we can create more suspense, keep the audience engaged, and stay in line with the conventions of a thriller. To maintain this dark look, we had the antagonist dress all in black, as this makes him mysterious, and we we filmed where colours were dull, for example browns, whites, creams, blacks, and other dark colours.
