Representation ( costume, lighting, setting, camera, sound)

Costume
For the main character the costume will be bright/ white this is to connote innocence and convey to the audience who plays the 'hero' following Propps theory of character roles. The costume will also be casual to keep the character more relatable for the target audience.

For the character playing the villain they will be dressed all in black, with a hoodie to conceal the character's face and identity from the audience, this builds upon the mystery in the film.  The colour black connotes death which suggests to the audience that this character is bad. The contrast of these characters follows binary opposites, good and evil.

Lighting
The lighting in both of the locations is dark to conceal the characters from the audience in order to represent the violent, evil character negatively as the colours connote this.
The lightning in the dark room is red this creates a dangerous environment

Setting
The opening sequence is set in two main locations one of which is relevant to the storyline, in a darkroom, where the photos the character has taken are being developed. This location adds to the story and due to it being dark with a red light it adds to the mis en scene.
The other location is set in a park,  when empty it creates an eerie and isolating environment. A park is also a conventional place for kidnappings or acts of violence to occur. The idea of kidnapping in a park which children often use to play in contradicts these two images and makes the event more impactful for the audience

Camera
The most prominent camera shot used throughout this sequence is going to be close ups, these are of facial features or hands, this introduces the audience to the character however without revealing the identity of the character. The constant use of close ups are used to make the audience feel uncomfortable and intimidated it means that the whole scene isn't revealed so the audience can't follow the audience entirely, leaving them to figure it out, this builds upon the mystery of the character and story.

Sound
The non diegetic music in the sequence is going to begin quiet and increase the volume and instruments included, this will be used to increase the tension at specific times where the action become more intense in the sequence.
