Ideas!

As a group we have sat down and discussed things we wanted to do. We have thought about places in particular places such as : Ferry Meadows and Werrington. We wanted to find somewhere that had very interesting backgrounds, we also wanted to included things such as, run down house/barns, parks, woods, fields anything that is spooky. Now we have researched we have been able to discuss where we would definitely like to shoot and what we would like to include. We still only have a rough idea as we haven't yet created our storyboard and gone through it shot by shot.


The rough idea that the group has come up with is:
There is a girl on a swing in a park, and she is all in red and she See's ghost of the past walking around. In the background the audience are able to see a man in a trench coat. The thing about this man in a trench coat is that we know he is there and we can see him but for some unknown reason to the audience the girl cannot see him and is therefore unable to acknowledge him.
We have also thought about why the ghost are there, and who/what the ghost will be. So far we have thought of:
- Two Nuns
- A clown
- An old fashioned teacher with a Cain
- Charlie Chaplin
- Children playing
So far this is all we have, but as for why they are in the opening sequence? Well we have decided that we are going to make is creepy, we have been talking about different things but the only thing that really made us excited about the filming and our ideas was the idea of having ghost from the past or 'hallucinations'. We discussed it as a group and the man in a trench coat is a murderer and throughout the past he has picked victims to kill and left his signature mark, "the red ribbon".

When we were researching certain films, one film took the whole groups eye this being. 'Schindler's list' we all liked the idea of the film being in black and white and having significant things in colour. We have discussed it as a group and decided that the girl's dress will be red and this will be shown to the audience, also the audience will be able to see the red ribbon that is the signature mark of the man in the trench coat. We have been thinking of certain things that we could do that are significant to the piece of filming. One idea is that maybe at one part the camera is on the Man in a trench coats face and you see him light a cigarette and you see the flash of the matched and the end butt of the cigarette in colour as well, maybe to represent 'danger'
