With one of our scenes being in a park, there was no work for us to do in order to sort out the setting. However, the dark room scene required alot of preparation to create the scene. Straight away we decided on using my kitchen as the room, as it had a sink, aswell as counter space which we believed would be useful. We borrowed a large roll of black material to cover the windows and doors in the room, to block out any natural light or reflections off glass that may show the reflection of the camera. We also bought red light bulbs to light the room, and placed lamps in corners of the room which we didnt plan on filming to light the entire room. Following this, we had to completely clear the kitchen shelves and counters of all the appliances and other stuff that was on them, eg. bread bin, biscuit tin, kitchen roll, photographs etc... Then we put other things in place to make the room into a stalkers lair. This involved putting packets and pots of paracetemal and vitamins on the shelves, to make it look like Stalk was taking numerous amounts of drugs. we also borrowed trays from school and filled them with water, placing them on the counters in the dark room. Finally, we attached a line of string on either side of the room and hung paper from it on pegs, to look like Stalks pictures drying out.
Blonde is going to be portrayed as a minute character in the opening, atleast for the park scene, which is the only bit where we see her in person. This perception is deliberately going to be created to throw the audience off, and make them think Ginge is the main character. Blonde will be in most of the shots, just not in the focus. She comes across as Ginge's friend, rather than her own person at first, as she is doing all of the listening and none of the talking. Blonde will be dressed casually as we want the scene to look like an everyday walk in the park.
Stalk's personality isn't easy to work out from the opening of the film, as he says nothing in the entire opening. What can be assumed is that he is a serious man who has a lot going on inside his head. The dark room scene will be when we get an insight to the darkness of Stalks character. He has a creepy exterior, emphasised by his taking pictures of the girls without them knowing. Stalk will be wearing a hat, to portray he is hiding from the world, his only purpose is Blonde. He will also be wearing a jacket, to make him look more serious.
