BEGINNING:
At start of the film there will be a short dark shot of the upper half of a teenage girl covered in blood, the shot will be edited so that it looks slightly cloudy, the next shot will be of shelly waking up in her bed, the shot will be a close up on her face so the audience see’s her eye’s open and establishes that she plays a key role, it will now become apparent that the previous shot was a dream, this will be aided by the change in editing, making a clear and visible divide between Shelly’s imagination and real time footage, Shelly lays there for a moment then gets out of bed, the shot will change to a long shot from across the room to set a clear location to the audience, Shelly puts on her dressing gown and walks to the bathroom to freshen up, the camera will watch her leave the bedroom and meet her in the bathroom, in between on her way to the bathroom there will be a point of view shot of her legs walking, there will be high angled point of view shot whilst Shelly is washing her hands, where the water will suddenly turn blood red and she has another flash back of the girl, this startles Shelly as it becomes apparent that yet again it is another figure of her imagination. When the blood appears it will be captured using cantered shots to convoy the theme of something going wrong, She dries her hands quickly, her distress will be communicated further through camera angles movement and cantered angles. Shelly peers through the blinds to look out of a window, the shot will be bright and mid angled, filming her from behind, The next shot will be low angled from outside watching her look at the window as if someone is watching her. Shelly walks down the stairs and in to the dining room, she walks over to the window and looks out of the curtains, this will yet again cue and outside shot of her as if someone is watching her, the way she looks out out the curtains and her movement will show that she has a paranoid and timid personality, she walks to the kitchen, there will be a tracking shot of Shelly as she walks in to the kitchen, turns on the kettle and takes a cup out of the cupboard.
