After development on the webcam idea another proposal for an opening was instead of a webcam, there would be messages left on the answering machine for someone to come home to. The gist of the idea for this is on the group blog, see the links on the side for the Coursework Group Page.
The idea was to have two narratives that in the end entwine and become almost one, from the point of view of the 'victim' which is the girl and the other from the POV of the 'villain' which is the man walking down the street. As the messages go along, the panic in the voice of her friend (the one leaving the voice mails) gets worse and worse until she hears someone come into the house, and screams as they take her/kill her, we leave this ambiguous. The main girl then becomes scared, as the man is still walking to somewhere, which we at the end find out is her house. The doorbell rings or she hears something as he gets there, her face frozen, and then the title of the film will end the opening.
Inspiration for the build up comes from the opening to Scream, as Drew Barrymore gets more and more frantic on the phone, and then she hears the doorbell ring.
Seems like the strongest idea to me, and the most 'doable' idea for the opening.
