The document summarizes 7 scenes from a student film project about a romance/thriller genre film. It discusses how the film was influenced by two other films that featured a male stalker, but challenged that concept by making the female character the stalker. Each scene description explains the cinematography techniques used, such as color contrast, lighting, angles, and focus on the foreground vs. background to enhance the storytelling and depict the stalking actions of the female character towards the male character. The last scene shows the female character looking away from the camera to leave the ending open to interpretation.

3. The first image is an establishing
shot, introducing the two main
characters. Already we are using
connotations of the genre we have
chosen (romance) by the use of the
colour red and contrasting this
against black and white image to
create a dramatic irony.
Scene 1:

4. These were the two films that gave as the concept of ideas to do with our project.
Similar Genre – Romance/Thriller, although we used a similar concept as these two films we challenged the
idea of the guy being the stalker by using the girl in our story to be the one that’s stalking.

5. Scene 2:
Using Colour dash makes the
subject stand out from the
background and also catches the
audiences attention rather than the
background of the photo.

6. Scene 3:
The high contrast of lighting makes
it seem dreamy to connote the
chemistry between the two
characters. Background is out of
focus to avoid once again the
objects around it. Face in focus to
enhance their body language
towards each other.

7. Scene 4:
We tried using a different angle to
show the perspective of the
woman of who she was looking at.
So although you can hardly see her
you know that there's someone in
the foreground from the blurriness
and the side of her face to indicate
the body language of her in this
scene.

8. Scene 5:
In this image we have focused on
the background rather than the
foreground to enhance the actions
of the girl stalking the guy. With the
guy also in the background showing
movement it allows the audience
to be drawn in the background
emphasising the other main
character to stand out from the
foreground.

9. Scene 6:
Used low angle shot just to show
various types of angles and to make
it interesting. In this photo it is
quite similar to the one before of
where she was looking at him walk
away – emphasising the stalking.

10. Scene 7:
Last image shows of the girl looking
away – just a simple photograph
that has a stronger meaning behind
it to and decode from the viewer of
what happens in the end. Once
again challenging the concept from
the influenced we got of a happy
ending.
