wouldbe difficulttoact withformy characters. Therefore,Ichose touse the smaller,inearphones
that are easier,towearanddon’t interferewiththe movementoreveningpositioningof my actors.

2. Bike Foot pump
iPhone 4 - White
Another significant moment in the opening scene is one of
the characters receiving a phone call out in the forest that
leads to the two characters being split up. For this shot, I will
be using a white iPhone 4. I have chosen to use an iPhone to
represent the stereotypical teenager that has popular smart
phone.
In order for the two characters to get to the forest/woods they will
be travelling by bike. I am using 2 mountain bikes (red & silver) that
I believe are age representative of the age of character.
A keypointinthe openingscene isthe doorcreaking,andthenslammingshutby
