Firstly i starred in the production, as i was the double act for the character ‘Connor’ as we needed to film within the school. In addition, as part of the props I put forward the idea of having the couple kiss at the restaurant for the wedding which represents the romance they shared which later contrasts with the destruction of their marriage. Finally, to create the correct atmosphere for the genre, i used my phone torch to put a soft spot light on Ariadne to produce tension and heighten the main character’s expressions and vulnerability.
Our Story Board
Each image represents a different section in the opening sequence. The first and second pictures convey how Victoria is gathering her necessities and running out of the house while her husband is watching. The third and fourth photographs portray how she believes to have found a safe hiding place however he recaptures her and takes her back to the house. Finally the fifth and sixth images demonstrate the several flashback which occur and conclude with her being beaten by her husband again. We adapted the storyboard by changing the sections in the forest and in the house as the sequences would be too long, we started from when she was having flashbacks and then added in a man walking down the stairs into the basement. Our Final Production Plan is based on an abusive marriage where the husband tortures his wife, physically and mentally, locking her in a basement. Our opening sequence begins with Victoria (the wife) quickly gathering necessities and then hastily running from the house into a forest. However, she did not escape very far due to the capture of her by her husband. We then switch to the basement where she is forced to stay. The audience then see her reminiscing via old photographs whilst having frequent flashbacks of memories before marriage. Interrupting the last flashback, we find the husband ready to abuse his wife again.
Good Aspects: - We have a clear storyline for the opening sequence that is effective because it is easy to follow and understand. - This scene also give the also a clear understanding of what the film will contain however also giving it potential to have a good or bad outcome. - The music is intense and full of tension so the audience knows clearly that the genre of this film is Thriller-Horror. -Not expensive as we have all the props and costumes we are going to use. Bad Aspects: - The sequence will be quite time consuming as we need to film it in many separate locations and we each have other commitments. - Editing may not be like the way we imagined as there are many flashbacks which can be hard to edit in. - We rushed the planning, changing the storyline several times as we ran out of time and needed to start filming therefore we believe we could have made the plot more simplistic and polished. Clothing:

This location is a typical place for a dinner date however, we were unable to have a single table for the couple which defeats the stereotypical view of a date.
