Once upon a nightmare

When Yasmine, Roxane and I went out on location to do a trial run of our main task, we discovered a few things we could add or change about it to make it more interesting and disturbing. Some things were little things like change the direction of our panning shot at the beginning from left to right, to right to left to right.
And some where big things like adding in more shots and adding more to the plot.
We have decided to give the killer a fairy tale motive, like he follows fairy tales to kill his Vitim's. We have decided for the opening sequence for the girl to follow the story of Hansel and Gretal. To get this across we are going to add a shot at the beginning of the girl leaving her house with a sandwich, so when she is walking through the woods she can drop bread crumbs. And in the final shot when you can see the bottom half of the killer walking away from a body he will be grasping a fairytale book in his hand.
We also needed to come up with a name so as a group we decided on 'Once upon a nightmare' because that is how most fairy tales start but it also shows it is not going to be like any ordinary fairytale.
