Friday 7th December

After watching creating a short rough edit of our footage from the past 2 weekends, we realised that our footage wasn't quite to the standard that we would have hoped. So we discussed a new way of shooting with Ms. Blackborow and created a slightly different chase sequence (with much tighter framing):

  • Establishing shots of the river

  • A pan from the river to a shoe on the ground amongst some leaves
  • A hand comes into frame, scrabbling for the shoe. Then the hand finds the shoe and grabs it and pulls it out of frame
  • Girl puts shoe on (only hands/arms and feet/legs shown)
  • Shots going up her body
  • Shot of girl looking very startled (she has just heard the killer calling her name, or something similar)
  • The killer's silhouette appears at the top of the slope. Then it cuts to shots of him seemingly 'jumping' forwards
  • Girl scrambles up
  • Girl falls again and grabs tree or maybe knee
  • Running shots of her (the killer is in none of these)
  • Matches of her and him (e.g. her feet come into and out of frame then his feet come into and out of frame, she runs past and touches a tree then he walks past and touches a tree etc)
  • She's looking around to see where he is then crashes into him and he captures her
  • He chloroforms her
  • He drags her away (shot of her feet, maybe her shoe falls off, linking the ending to the beginning ? )

It probably also needs to be said that some of the shots Ms Blackborow suggested/liked were ones that Matt suggested a while ago but the rest of the group rejected because we thought it'd look too supernatural.

In this meeting we decided that we're definitely going to need to buy another white dress for the girls in the polaroids to wear.
