The 2 minute beginning scene starts off with girls playing hide and seek outside their house, with the sound being very slow and loving, the idea of this type of sound track came from the film ‘The Lovely Bones’ . This could foreshadow something happening later on in the scene, in the film The Lovely Bones the type of edit that they have used is like a dream or fantasy, so I am going to be using that type of idea, also they use a type of sound for the people that are talking in that scene, it’s like an echo. A girl then hides behind a car trying to hide from her friends, she looks at the car window/mirror and she sees a reflection of a person dressed in all black, I got this type of idea from the film ‘Friday The 13th’. Whilst she sees this reflection the sound becomes very worrying and shocking, I also got this idea from the film ‘Halloween’. When she turns around the person dressed in black has dispersed and she just avoids talking about it or telling someone what she saw. Then it fades out to a title and fades back to another scene, I got this idea from the film ‘Mr & Mrs Smith’. I am going to be using it to create a sense of the setting and time changing. Once it changes from the first scene, another scene appears after the title, which is a shopping centre where the girl is with her friends and from a far distance she sees the same figure again and she looks down and looks back up quickly and it’s not there anymore, the same shocking sound comes back on. Then it goes to another title and then another scene where she is in her room and she opens her cupboard and from a small mirror she sees the reflection of the figure again behind her but just before she turns around the person grabs her buy the neck and just before she can scream she falls to the ground and then from another room just beneath her room it will show a close up of the chandler shaking and her sister runs up stares to see her and when she sees her she screams and looks right outside and she sees the figure from a far distance and this will show us that she is the next victim.

This scene that I first created did not work out because the characters that where suppose to be in the film stopped turning up and situations broke through so we did not have a choice so we had to change the whole story and because we did not have enough time we had to stay in one location. We still put in some of the same camera angles as we were going to in our first film and tried to use at least some techniques to make the scenes look more professional, but with the cancelation of the actors we had a lot of problems trying to figure out something quick and easy so we can finish it on time.
