- Unexpected neighbour - serial killer - thriller

- Girl being followed home/stalked - thriller

Main idea

- My idea for my short film is in the theme of a thriller and creating suspense with the camera rather than the dialogue. The film will focus on a girl leaving a party or some sort of social event and being followed home by a stalker. I want to incorporate both the girl’s view and the stalker’s view with various camera shots, for example, a shot of the girl walking down the street either in 3^rd person or in 1^st person and then cutting to a shot of the stalker’s view of her walking down the street, creating two-viewpoints throughout the film and different reactions to the situation. 

 I had this idea for my film after seeing multiple cases of stalkers and kidnapping of women in the news in public places, like the Sarah Everard case. Using this, I want to include public transport as part of my set, to portray the danger in places that are claimed to be ‘safe’.

 

The themes that will be prevalent in my film is voyeurism and how that is portrayed.
