What Lies Behind

2.       Synopsis:

Our film opening is going to be set in two locations, the first location will be the train station and the second location will be a park. The film starts with a group of girls who are catching a train together. The girls will then get on to the train and sit down. A man dressed in all black will be watching over the girls the whole time they are talking while they are waiting for the train. The four girls will then arrive at the next station and two of the girls will go off and the other two girls will decide to take a short cut through the park. Whilst they are walking, there is a person in all black following them but they do not know. They then notice the man following them and start the run. The camera then shows a doll swinging on a park swing as the man moves towards the doll, sits on the swing next it while staring into the distance.

5.    Production considerations:

We are shooting our film at a park and a train station so we need to be careful near the train station as it can get very busy, especially around the time we’re filming. Also, we need to make sure we have a permit before we film at these two places and make sure we have the approval of our actors/actresses to film them as it is going online.
