Location Recce 3- House 1

This house is an option for filming the shots where the girl escapes the place in which she has been held captive, and also shots for when she runs away down the street. However, I found that the area was pretty busy which wouldn't work for my opening sequence as I need a very sleepy street for the desired effect. It remains a Plan B, but I would prefer a quieter area for the sequence to have the mood I want it to have.

Location Recce 2- Suburbs

Around my neighbourhood there are build up areas with a bit of woodland too, which offers a bit of a mix between the street and woodland settings I thought of when brainstorming for the opening sequence. The lighting was less good in these areas than in the previous woods I looked at, but I think I could get a good range of interesting shots in this location. 

Location Recce 1- Woods

The first location I've looked at is a woodland area near to Abbi's house, which is close to school. The lighting is good enough to film with good quality footage, and the area is pretty quiet so it would be ideal for filming uninterrupted. Overall, the location seemed a good contender for the final filming setting.

Storyboard and Animatic

Here is a storyboard animatic I made, to encompass all of my ideas into a more literal format.

Long shot to establish setting, of closed door in suburban neighbourhood.

Cut to closer view of same door, mid long shot as door opens slightly.

Same shot distance, girl coming out of the house.

Close up of girl's face, looking up and around at her surroundings.

Tracking shot, girl runs away; possibly handheld camera for atmosphere.

Also handheld, following the girl as she runs away down the street. 

Shot of missing poster on a lamppost, static establishing shot.

Girl enters the scene, rips down her own missing poster.

Point of view shot from girl's perspective, explicitly shows a photograph of herself on the poster. Forcefully stamps on image.

Repeated cutaways to police board, panning around the board revealing other side characters and details about the case.
