A Run Down

The premise for our ten minuet film is that of a serial killer who unbeknownst to him is the target of a second female murderer. The film will employ the use of P.O.V and long uncut takes to achieve a sense that the characters being stalked. 

The films begins with a scene in the woods (Grindleford) when the audience witnesses the male disposing of a body and is then seen leaving the location. Shot with the intention that it feels as if he's being watched.

Cut to a city street/alley. The male is in the act of pursuing a prostitute. After successfully picking one up he takes her to a shady area where he continues to kill her. This is seen by a third character, the female killer, who watches the act but does nothing.

Cut to the male's home. The man is relaxing in his house being watched by the witness from the previous scene, partially hidden from view, spying on the killer. 

Cut to street/alley location. The Female voyeur from the previous scenes lures the man to her by posing as a prostitute. Once both hidden from view she steals his weapon, informing him that she knows what he's been doing and a fight to the death breaks out. End. 

This basic plot allows for some interesting uses of both light and colour. The dark subject matter itself goes hand in hand with strong colours i.e. reds and the fact that a lot of the film will be set during the evening/night lets us play with light in a more noticeable way. The fact that the film is largely about being stalked is due to the fact we have to include P.O.V shots, through using such a technique it'll be easy to get this theme across to the audience. The long take we have to include has been suggested to take place during the killing of the prostitute, due to there being three characters in the same space at the same time we saw this as an opportunity to have fun with a long track back, focusing first on the stalk, then on the murder itself and lastly as it tracks back even further the reaction of the witness.
