Genre:Horror/slasher
Audience:15-18
BBFC Rating:15
Starts off with a pitch-black room, a blue tint light flashes and a disturbing silhouette figure is shown filmed from a low angle, which makes the character look more powerful. Then straight away a girl with blonde stereotypical features (cleavage is on show, short skirt and loads of obvious makeup) is in a long shot which enables the audience to see her mise-en-scene, she is denoted being popular by having loads of Friends around her and illustrated in the dialogue, using depth of field a blurd black clothed figure is in the background, unable to tell the gender of the figure. The camera then becomes shaky as if someone is watching this blonde haired girl as she is in the centre of the frame with close ups zooming in and out. There is then a mid shot of the girl saying 'ill see you tonight' which is echoed using sound effects to add tension and effect. It then straight goes into a long shot of the house party that their going to which is on a slow zoom filmed on a Dutch angle with gradual shake of the camera. The screen then suddenly goes to a black fade out and a loud drum noise is heard. This is where the 2-minute opening ends on a narrative enigma. The film goes on to explore the consequences of high school bullying and to show the strengths of stalking someone.
The main scene of the blonde girl using depth of field to show a dark figure is going to be located in school grounds, this is done so the audience are aware of the age of cast, it sets the scene and also relates to the target audience.
The blonde haired girl would be in a girly costume such as pink clothes, manicured nails etc. Ive chosen this look as through my research of Slasher films the first blonde haired girl in the film tends to get killed first, this has intertextual references to scream as this happens in there. As the first 2 minutes will only include two characters i would cast two girls (as the black figure turns out to be a girl) that can be easily available to film and confident in the roles they will have to play.
