Eye For An Eye Opening

After we had come up with the location ideas for our opening plans, we had to change the actors for our film therefore for some scenes we had to change the location in which we were going to film with the new actors. Because of this, we had to write up our new location ideas.

Location plans for our previous ideasOpening plans:1. Photo of Alice and mum when she was a baby before she was abandoned (keeps coming back to burning photo throughout – photo burning slowly) – Burn the photo in the middle to show separation so the flames go outwards.2. Show state of Alice’s bedroom – a dark simple room with no personal belongings3. Show Alice applying for nanny job4. Title5. Show Alice walking down the street and arriving at a house for interview6. Jenny opens the door and welcomes her warmly, show colourful garden7. End of credits with John running in and the photo finishes burning

The title comes up on a faded in black screen and then fades out to the next shot5. Heather’s front door and garden6. Jenny opens the door and it shows the front garden so it suggests the family is lively and welcoming.7. –
