We choose to have music to begin right from the beginning as any outer sound would draw away from our atmosphere of tension we wanted to create, while silence itself to begin may confuse viewers or appear boring.

 

While we started with only 1 location, we expanded to build tension and have highlighted in the script our use of a blurring camera as it is significant in displaying the state of the character.

 

The script features a lot of emphasis on the protagonist crossing the road as this as part of filming is completely random, it is highlighted in detail as, as filmmakers we have no control over the movement of traffic so passing traffic is spontaneous and realisti. While we have a little control of the movement of people in and out of shots, even a person crossing by and looking at the camera could mess up the whole scene. Therefore, the shot may only be taken a few times so the script needs to clearly display what will happen.

 

Featuring jump cuts was our brave way of trying to make our piece both unique for the way in which they were featured, but also in some ways ordinary as these are a clips similar to these are a convention of thriller films.

 

We required a way to express to the audience that our protagonist was not only facing fear in the glances it threw at our antagonist, but also curiosity, so we believed it important to pick up upon what changes we would make (within the music) to show this.

 

The phrase “trance like” was selected carefully to be used in a script as we found it hard to keep the description and footage of the protagonist and antagonist realistic and not too violent or similar to horror films.

 

For our climax we wanted to keep the directions as clear as possible. So while it seems lacking in detail, it expresses finely wanted we wanted to show in the few seconds of our period of maximum tension.

Towards the end of our work we began  to focus more on the emotions of characters, rather than the setting or the tense nature of their arrival. The reaction after is more vital to showing the extent of what had happened before.
