Was walking home the other day in the evening and went though a place called the walks. It triggered some ideas i had floating around my head for where the second part of the trailer could be shot as well as the film poster or where the magazine cover could be shot.
It is really closed in with trees and looks creepy in the dark but i think i could edit the picture to create that effect if i was to take the pictures in light.
In the dark however, it would work very well with the heightened atmosphere which would be the second part of the trailer, the turning point.
From one angle i looked at, i thought of a really great idea for the film poster and a shot for the trailer. The stalker could be stood behind the tree with a hoodie or something on as to not identify them, watching the girl walk hand in hand with her boyfriend. I would do a long shot, from behing the stalker behind the tree. They could hear something and turn around but the stalker would not be there.
As the brief states, all photgraphs must be original and be taken by yourselves for authenticity and copyright reasons.
I have thought about continuetity and weather due to it being a public place which is why i would aim to shoot it in around 2 days, keeping a list of positions, clothing, time ect.. incase any scences need to be re-shot.
The upside to my idea though is that the shots would be taken as if the stalker had been grooming their prey for a while and the most recen shots had been taken over a month so there would be costume changes between takes.
I think this is a really clever idea. I love the idea of taking the picture from behind the stalker watching the couple. you can see the couple and how happy they are but you feel dread as you see the stalker. You feel as though you want to warn the couple however they are too far in front, blissfully unaware of what's about to happen to them.
ReplyDeleteanother symbol idea could be that as we are stood behind the stalker we may be on his side. at this point we don't know why he's stalking the couple, although he looks dark and scary in the film we may be persuaded to feel differently about him at the end of the film, or not...
hmmm i like it, ill have to see how it works out though...
