When we were first introduced to the brief, we were told we could make an opening sequence of any particular genre. As a group we decided to go for the horror genre as we thought it would be the easiest to portray on such a low budget.
Our opening sequence is about a girl coming home late at night drunk and then falling asleep. When she wakes up, strange things start to occur so therefore she begins to investigate. Eventually she ends up upstairs looking out the window and we see the door open behind her, telling the audience that there was somebody else in the house with her when she thought she was alone. The rest of the film expands upon the concept of the murderer praying on girls in a vulnerable state. It is about a taxi driver who picks up girls from parties and clubs and drops them off home. He then returns to their house later in the evening to torment them and eventually kill them.
When shooting our opening sequence we shot it in a large Victorian House in Whetstone with creaky wooden floor and dim lighting.
Our cast consisted of Charlotte Cooper playing the teenage girl victim and myself, Loren Dodi, playing the shadow/killer that opens the door at the end.
As Charlotte was being filmed, this left most of the camera and crew work down to me, Loren Dodi and Nisha Shah.
