With the research we had done about the 'loft' idea and the house design etc. previously, we actually started to question how we were going to film this girl if the idea was that the loft was to be blacked out and that he was meant to be filming her next door without being caught, even though he lived next to the house. We were also concerned that we were going into 'cliché' territory.
We spent one lesson on just mapping our actual story out and how we could suit the location and make more sense of it. We detailed our story a bit. To clarify, our story idea is:
The 'camera man' is working within a police force. In previous years, he was married to a woman. He had to take a shift one night and asked his friend to pop in and see her as she wasn't well; he never came to see her. That night the house set on fire accidently and the wife died in it. The friend of the 'camera man' was too ashamed to confront his friend in saying that he never came to her and never got in touch with him again - eventually moving away and starting a family. Years later, the 'camera man' finally finds his friend and takes his young daughter captive, threatening him and wishing for him to experience his pain.
The opening sequence still involves the 'camera man' setting up his camera and equipment but instead of setting it up to film this young girl across the road, he is setting it up to film her in his basement as he kidnaps her, so he can send it off to the dad and threaten him.
