Filming schedule for new scenes

New intro scene of young protagonist painting and singing

During this piece of filming, I will be filming close-ups of the little girl singing and then looking into the camera. I will also film a long shot of her painting and then pan round to reveal the image that she is painting.

Montage scene

Realising I need a few more clips for my montage, I decided to list small scenes that would work for a psychological thriller.

Looking at the montage scenes in Black Swan, Donnie Darko and The Machinst, I was able to notice what type of creepy, psychological shots I would need.


-Protagonist screaming (CU or zoom from a medium shot into a CU)
-Protaginist running (Camera close behind, following)
-Close up of a weapon (either knife, gun, etc...)


Other ideas I have:

-A car drives past with the driver wearing one of the demon masks (Zoom into mask face)
-Protagonist looks through a book fast (as if searching for answers. Camera would look at book)
-Protagonist walking somewhere with a close up following the back of the head (making audience feel uncomfortable)
-(Different shot) Protagonist turning around quick as if camera is person behind.
