- and a SHOTLIST
BRAINSTORMING IDEAS:
We initially brainstormed multiple different ideas and genres to start off with. We have access to a boat house, and therefore thought planning something which involves that location would be successful.
Locations for Shots:
- London
- Train station
- Hospital
- Elevator
- Woods
- Empty car park
- Walking down an empty dark road
- Dark room hacker screens
FILM IDEAS:
Props:
- Pin Board
- Documents
- Pictures
- Files
- Doctors notes
- Earphones
Effects:

Simple shots ideas:
- Earphones in music playing walking down lonely street, music out silence. Mixed shots of agent and girl to create following creepy scene.
- Dark room with hacker screens and reflecting in glasses
- Through ambulance wheel shot of agent walking out
- "Don`t worry leave it to me" chair scrape back low angle shot followed by door open and walking out.
Good.
