2. Location 1:
The first location seen in the film title sequence will be a gate to a house. This will be where the
protagonist/victim resides. We have chosen this as a location as it is within close proximity of
one of the main locations (a bridge) that will be used in the sequence. This is useful for our
group as one of the shots will be of the victim walking towards the bridge and will be able to
walk quickly to the bridge from the address we have chosen to be the victim’s home. Another
reason we have chosen to use this location is to give contextual information to the audience.
The audience will be able to work out that the shot is being seen from a stalker’s point of view,
not just a regular person and use it as an analepsis for the audience. They will be able to work
this on as the title sequence continues and the shot of the house will work as an for the viewers
as they will realise why the victim is being watched from their house.
3. Location 2:
Our second location will be a street. This will be the street that the resident lives on and
also the street that leads to one of the key locations in the sequence and film. We have
chosen to put this location into the title sequence so that we can present the audience with
the journey of the victim to help them to understand what is going on, and also to resemble
the fact that the character is being followed. The street is a relatively short distance from the
bridge, therefore, it is ideal as it will not be taking up too much of the time in the sequence.
4. Location 3:
Location 3 is a bridge - one of the key
locations that will be used in our title
sequence and is also a key location to
the storyline for the film. We have
decided to use this location as it is
surrounded by a canal and woodland
and we believe that this adds to the
eerie and dour atmosphere that we are
aiming to achieve for the sequence. The
bridge is also in a quiet area and looks
desolate and this will help to heighten
the tension of the scene and reinforce
the idea that protagonist is in danger as
no on is around to help her. Another
reason we have chosen this bridge is
due to the fact that it looks modern, this
will fit in with the contemporary feel that
we are hoping to portray.
5. Location 4:
This will be a train station. We have chosen this as a location as we decided that it will
show how far the protagonist has been followed. The actor will be seen walking to and into
the train station. This will show that she is on her way somewhere, perhaps on her way to
work. We have decided to use Wapping Overground station as it is local and links to the
location that the antagonist has been stalking in.
6. Location 5:
Location 5 will be a dark room. This will be the room that the antagonist makes all of their plans
in and has information about his victims. The room will be filled with polaroid images of the
victims, scattered out over a table. There will also be a map of London, which will have
thumbtacks pinned into it, tracking the antagonist's latest victim (seen in the title sequence).
We have decided to use this in our title sequence as it will give the audience an insight into the
life of the stalker, and will also answer questions for the audience, as some may not fully
understand what has been going on previously, but this will allow them to see tat the
protagonist is being watched and followed. However, it still leaves an enigma code as we do
not see the antagonists face and the audience are not sure as to why the stalker has chosen
this specific victim or what their intentions are.
7. Name: Yasmine Sylla
Role: Lead/Protagonsist
We have decided to use Yasmine as our
protagonist for several reasons. One reason is
to challenge current crime – thriller films. After
watching and analysing title sequences, we
realised that black females are rarely shown as
protagonists or given lead roles. Therefore, we
have decided to make our protagonist a black
female to celebrate diversity and an equal and
fair representation of all races. Another reason
we have chosen Yasmine is because she has
a very confident character, meaning she will be
able to act without feeling shy or
uncomfortable. Finally, we wanted our
protagonist to appear as a strong and
independent female, and we believe that
Yasmine will be able to portray this.
8. Name: Tyler Wynne
Role: Antagonist – stalker.
We have chosen Tyler to be our
protagonist as we wanted it to be a
male. He is tall and, therefore, this
may cause the audience to find him
more dangerous and be fearful for
the protagonist, who is smaller and
weaker. We also wanted a male to
represent two different social groups
in different ways, men as the villain
and a women as the victim.
9. Name: Oliwia Bienkowska
Role: News reader.
We chose Oliwia to be our news reader as she has a
clear voice and an understandable accent that would
be recognised by the majority of people. As most
readers have an RP accent, we decided that it would
be best for our reader to also have a RP accent, as
Oliwia is from London she has one.
