Plannng Narrative Techniques

The film is shown mostly from the perspective of a Post-It note, there are hints of this, but I'm trying not to make this obvious. The camera view is third person at a very low angle for some of it but the narration is in first person.
Voice overs are typically used in any genre of films in order to tell the story, I originally wanted to use one but decided that the visuals were obvious enough that perhaps having a voice over was an  unnecessary addition.

I'm trying to deceive the audience into thinking that the person they are watching is a murderer. In reality, he is actually an average man. His occupation is a building contractor. Hence the reason for all of the controversial equipment e.g chainsaw, rope, skip.
I think this will trick the audience because people will judge him straight away, assuming he is a bad person.
Most of the words are written in capital letters and red ink to make them bold and stand out, red also signifies danger in this.














The 'Flashbacks' aren't actually real, they never happened. It is all in the imagination of the narrator. She is showing us what she thinks may have happened according to what is heard in the radio news report (a murder).

When the wrong date is written, it is crossed out in a harsh and forceful way, the correct re-written date is Halloween, I did this on purpose to give a bit more of a horror sense to it.


Also, the man is shown looking at a photograph of a woman, hinting that she is the target, when she walks past him, this confirms that he is planning on something involving her.
