Production Meeting 4

Plan

• Girl returns home to find note from parents, explaining how they will not be home until later (note on fridge). Note also explains how girl is not allowed to have boys round.

On the way into the house, she pulls out a free newspaper wedged into the letterbox and takes it inside.

• Girl starts to prepare dinner, cutting knife is suggestive!

Newspaper is place next to cutting board.

• Phone rings but it cuts off and nobody replies. Almost as soon as she puts the phone down, the doorbell rings.
• Point of view shot of door opening very slowly, but nobody is there! (false scare)
• Turns around and jumps when her boyfriend is there. He laughs and explains he got in through her bedroom window which is always open.
• Girl is annoyed because he scared her and he shouldn't really be around. So tells him to go close upstairs window. 
• Girl goes back into kitchen, cutlery is moved! (but not missing.)

Knife is now on top off newspaper. she thinks nothing of it and picks up knife, which was covering headline. headline reads. 'Teenage girl skinned.' 

• Boy does not come down so she investigates.  She opens cupboard in bedroom and boy appears dead inside.   

To add a phycological twist in the film and give a sense of unease, the girl will have the point of view shots (the shot typical of the killer or villain). We thought the plot of the film could turn out that the girl have schitzophreniea and a event in her life causes her to take a dislike to men and murder her boyfriends. The audience to not know in the opening sequence, that the girl is the killer, but we are attempting to give them a hint by the choice of shots we are using.   

Today we have done a quick storyboard outlining the main shots of the opening sequence.
