What influenced our ideas A range of productions influenced our idea, some in particular being The Perfect Guy, which is also a drama/thriller based on a lady who meets a guy at a bar and soon finds out about his dangerous obsession. As well as, The Boy Next Door, which is also based on a guy who is obsessed with his neighbour.

We decided to take certain aspects of these productions and merge them together, e.g. Mise-en-scene; characters emotions (fear/shock), lighting and sound used to have a better effect, camera shots etc.

Location We decided to film our production in a dark room in the college. This meant that we had access to the room whenever we needed. Using the black room will emphasise the character's obsession with the girl, we will have her belongings and pictures that the obsessed character had taken, without her permission.
