Research on mise en scene
We did a lot of detailed research on mise en scene in similar films and series, such as truth or dare, (a film from the horror genre) pretty little liars and the mentalist (mystery/crime series). We looked at police boards in particular as we incorporated a similar idea into our opening. This was altered to make it appear more appropriate to a stalker rather than a police investigation.
In our movie opening, the killer has been stalking the victim for weeks, finding out intel about her. He then sticks the photos on his wall, above where he plans to kill her.
We also looked at a variety of calling cards, and decided that the most effective and realistic one to do for our opening would be similar to Red John's on the mentalist, however we have changed it to three lines on the wall, as this number is significant to our plot.
