Opening story ideas.

Initial Ideas.

The obsession
Psychological thriller
Close up of lots of photos of one girl
Photog dark room, develop photos in there
Darts at photos.
Spinning bottle.
Quick cuts throughout.
dark - not day.
Girl screaming. black screen to start tape recorder.
Interviews stalker.
Starts with black screen goes to close ups of victim's photos - shown in dark room with torch at college.
Possible question : what do you like to do ?
"play darts" (dart imagery)
close up of weird hand. Villain handicapped in some way - this shows pain and bravery.
voice over on top of imagery.

Further ideas.

We will never get to see the villain in the opening.
Taking photos through key hole.
Damsel in distress will hear noises of what she thinks is a villain, but it turns out to be her pet cat, or so she thinks.

flash of her seeing herself on video. And photos.
Zoom of her eye and zoom out to his.
He has her cup with lipstick on it, and a lock of her hair.
Camera is his point of view.

Bottle spinning, shot of it at full speed, but as it reduces, the camera will spin with it, showing the photos around it. All of the victim.

Restaurant scene - possible relationship between characters?

Spooky location - abandoned house near Netherhall, a church.

Public transport - both on bus through Cambridge.

Shots of buildings in cambridge.

End on her gasp at camera (his perspective) to black screen.

Final ideas.
