Shots and Explanations

Some of the shots we used were intended to be seen as handheld recordings from the kidnapper, including inside the shop and walking down the street.

We included a shutter sound following the girls walking down the street, followed by a still of the shot which was slightly faded around the edge like a worn photograph. This was one of the ways that we wanted to portray the male character as a stalker who is infatuated with the girl and stalked her for a period of time before the attack.

We also used actual CCTV footage in our trailer which was taken when we filmed the actress walking out of the shop. We had finished filming inside and were moving to another location when we looked up and saw this above the door and so decided that it would be a good effect to add in. This impromptu inspiration led to one of our favourite shots from the trailer.
