Recce Shots

This is the living room where the sequence starts. It establishes the fact that what is happening is taking place in a house and shows everything from the point of view of the killer. It can also show that there is something very wrong with the house because everything is silent and it is quite dark.

The kitchen is where the majority of the shots take place. The kitchen fits the story quite well as it again, establishes the fact that what is happening is taking place in a regular house and adds an element of domesticity to the setting. However, the kitchen is also an eerie place as it is where the killer goes to clean his tools; one of these is a large knife which would often be found in a kitchen, adding to the relevance of the setting.

This is the landing. It is fairly simple looking and I used a tracking shot to follow the killers movements throughout the house. This allows us to see that the dead girl is definitely in a bedroom because we view the killer's journey throughout the house and into the bedroom.

This is the bedroom where the killer leaves the victim, we used low key lighting to represent the darkness of the room and left some items laid around (such as make up and paper) to give it a 'lived in' feel. This fits the character of the young girl.

This is the shirt that the killer wore. I used a black shirt to represent his 'evilness' and also to show anonymity. The black also acted as some camouflage for the killer against the dark places in the house which added to the suspense of the film, giving it a horror effect.

This is the shirt that the victim wore. I bought a normal white shirt and stained it with fake blood to give it a morbid effect and make it look like she had been massacred. I used a white shirt because the blood showed up the best against that colour, it also symbolises the innocence of the victim.
