Costumes: The protagonist will be wearing everyday clothes with mainly blue and yellow colours as these colours are usually associated with happiness and this character is emotionally happy. The antagonist in the flashbacks will be wearing the colour orange as this is associated with the american prison overalls colour however it is also bright which suggests that the character isn't all bad. In present day shots the same character is seen wearing black which suggests that he no longer has any emotion and is completely emotionless.
Setting: The film opening will be located in a bedroom, Café, a street and a park in past scenes. The reasoning for only setting the past scenes in a park was because parks and playgrounds connote childhood and our characters in the past scenes are children. We are filming from a cafe because it is a public place where two of our characters are seen rekindling their friendship over a cup of tea. Later, we will be shooting a scene in Timothy's bedroom where all seems well however there will be a sudden danger to various people. We are setting this particular scene in a bedroom as a bedroom represents sleep and a peaceful place which is why it contrasts and becomes unexpected.
Camera: There will be a lot of P.O.V shots because this camera type is from a characters view and involves the audience a lot more in the opening. Also, over the shoulder shot will be included as it gives the audience the same impression however it makes us feel as we are hiding meaning there is more tension within the scene. Also, theres a track shot following Timothy which emphasises he is the main characters and it allows the audience to see in to his life.
Mise en Scene: In the past scenes Timothy will be seen wearing an orange t-shirt as a child, this has connotations of prison and criminals which foreshadows what is to come. Ben will be wearing everyday clothing and a blue shirt which shows happiness. Rachel will be in pink which is a stereotypical girly girl. When we get to present day Timothy only wears black which connotes having no emotion and being dull. Also, there will be minimum props as timothy has a phone but keeps it private which links to his personality.
Lighting: The film opening will be filmed with mostly low level/dark lighting which will link to the mood of dull and gloomy witch relates to the theme of the film opening. The dark lighting promotes a sense of fear which keeps the audience intrigued.
