My Final Post
I can’t believe this is my final post ever!!!
It has been a very long and interesting journey for me and I have learnt so much from it!
More importantly, I have had so much fun especially with the two loveliest group members ever Mel and Alice!
I will really miss working with you two…Thanks for being so great! Everyone else in our media classes including students, Miss Blackborow, Miss Thrasher and Mr Deans, have all been equally great and helpful...so Thank you all!
I will miss the good times I had during this project but it’s always good to move on, and I am especially looking forward to the next project, when we shall meet again =)

Bye for now =) xxx

Denotation of the Opening Sequence
The Opening Sequence begins with a cross dissolve from black to an establishing LS of a house. It then cross-dissolves to Laura in the shower, followed by, an MCU of her feet stepping out the shower and picking her towel up.

This then cross-dissolves to a MCU pan of the dressing table followed by two shots of Laura walking out the bathroom with the use of match on action. Laura drops her towel and immediately we are introduced to the dual narrative with a VLS of Barney walking through the park.

There is continuous cross-cutting between the two characters to show that the two parallel narratives are connected. There is a CU of Barney’s feet, tilt shot from behind and a pan as he walks round the corner of the street.

Meanwhile we keep cross-cutting back to Laura’s montage of shots which consist of her tying her dress and finishing her lipstick.

The two characters then exchange a short phone-conversation after which Laura walks down the stairs which is made up of a MS shot of Laura walking out the room, a pan as she walks to the stair case, a CU of her feet going down, and a pan of her walking round the hallway. Each of these shots use matches on action, very much inspired by shots from 'The Ring' (Verbinski, 2002).

We then see a MS of Barney walking towards the door with two CUs of him ringing the doorbell and waiting at the door. In between we cross-cut to Laura lighting a candle for their romantic dinner and then her reaction shot to the doorbell.

The final shot is a slow pan of Laura picking up the knife.

Film Summary

Does she kill her boyfriend?

Yes, Laura does kill Barney, who is only one of the many guys she has killed before and she takes him to the basement where she has kept the rest of the men. Here we see the more gory and murderous aspects of the film. The story conventionally consists of a detective like in Seven (David Fincher, 1996) who comes to investigate the case of the missing males in the area. He falls in love with Laura who whilst trying to seduce him, also falls in love. This is where elements of romance will be incorporated in our film. She spends her time trying to hide her crimes from him.

The film will consist of flashbacks showing her childhood and the cause of her madness. The story goes that when she was younger, her brother was drowned in the sea back Greece, and she has always held his friend to blame for this incident. She remains silent about it for years, but when she moves to London she is taken over by a psychological disorder when memories of her brother return. She begins to date and kill anyone that looks like her brother’s friend, and ends up falling in love with the detective. When he eventually finds out about her crimes, she is faced by a dilemma...

Should she kill him too?
