Do we see Stalk?

With the outline of the plot settled on, we're unable to decide on some of the more detailed aspects of our film opening. The most important one being, whether or not the audience sees the identity of Stalk. We know what is going to happen in the scene, but what we can't come to an agreement on is whether to show the scene from the point of view of Stalk, kepping his identity a secret to the audience, or whether we see the face of Stalk, instantly letting us know who the villain of the movie is.

Point of view shots would explain the story to the audience, but enable them to have to try and figure out who Stalk is during the film. This option gives the audience something to think about thorughout the film, as well as keeping the audience in the same group as Blonde, who is oblivious to the fact she is being stalked. However, the filming of the opening scene would be made more difficult by not being able to see Stalks face, as that is what was initally going to reveal the serious nature of the film.

Showing Stalks face in the opening scene would instantly take away the aspect of not knowing who the villain is, with the audience not having the ability to figure out the identity of the villain for themselves. However, by being able to see Stalk from the opening scene of the film, it gives the audience knowledge that they often dont get in thrillers... they know what the victim - Blonde - doesn't. This knowledge on behalf of the audience enables the audience to watch the film and follow the journey of Stalk, getting on insight to his actions, and his mindset. Also, by being able to see his face in the opening scene, it enables us to use the shot of Stalks face as he accepts Redheads apology as the reveal shot, when the audience initially catches on to the fact that there is something not right about Stalk.
