Location and different pictures/ snip-its of whats going to happen

 

There will be lots of flashing, cutting of news paper, blood will be dripping on to it. However the mans face will not be shown, which will make the atmosphere more mysterious. 

More ideas.

I was doing some more research for how I could start my opening sequence and while on art of the title, I across Coraline (opening title).

 Something that I found interesting about the title was how in the beginning there is only titles with a plain background, then it goes into the opening scene where it is all mostly close up but with an animation typed movie. 

I could interpret this scene to be in my movie by the way that maybe the pedophile is making the doll to give to the little girl, but then I would have to find some on that would be able to make dolls. 

Preliminary Task

Screen grab of FCP editing

Although I had previously done my preliminary task in a group, when watching it back I realised that I did not follow the rules for example I only stayed on one side of the camer instead of doing a shot reverse shot and over the shoulder shots. So I improved it and added all the rules like 180degree rule.

Here is my improved Preliminary:
