Mise-en-scene

We plan to use a small variety of props within it our narrative, including:

A set of keys, these keys are used to open the isolated room where the stalker keeps all his guarded information about the victim. 




A timetable, this scrappy timetable is significant because this where the stalker presents his information on where the victim is, when she's there and who she's with. This will be used a few times in the opening sequence. 


A phone, the phone is held by the girl being stalked, Lucy, and is used toward the end of the opening credits where she receives a text from an unknown number.  



The costume we plan to use is normal, casual clothes for the victim to allow the audience to relate to her and create a sense of realism.




The villain will not be shown completely in the opening sequence however parts of the villain will be shown; we aim to dress the villain in dark clothing to create a sense of mystery and to create a clear contrast between the victim (coloured, casual dress) and the villain (dark, obscure dress).


We have also created a contrast between the two protagonists by using a vary of lighting depending on which character is being shot; 


When the victim is being shot we have used bright, natural lighting to allow the viewer see and recognise her with ease, this sharp lighting doesn't give her any opportunity to hide away or blend in to the background of the shot. Giving the suggestion that if she cannot hide from the  viewer she definitely cannot hide from the stalker. 




Where as all shots of the villain are darker and clouded making it more difficult to see the villain, this links to his secretive persona and suggesting that if the viewer finds it difficult to see him and hardly know what he looks like the victim has no chance of suspecting that he is stalking her.
