Final Sequence: Dark Summer

Re-shoot

We have decided that some shots could be improved and sequences (like in the bedroom) can be completely redone. There are 3 main parts to re-shoot, which are:
  • Fridge shot - stranger at the door: we should only see him once, after Zoe has closed the fridge, so that there is some suspense in the beginning. Also, he should be trying to open the door, so the audience would see the handle moving, but again, Zoe won't.
  • Reaction shot of Zoe: should be more realistic. Also, when she drops the cup, the juice should be really red, rather than watery as the red is a signifier of blood and murder which is vital to the rest of the film.
  • Bedroom sequence:
    • Zoe runs in quickly to the bed. She sees Summer in bed with her hair sticking out. Saying "Thank God," she walks around, tidying up.
    • She tidies crayons and drawings and notices a strange picture. There is a music box and teddybear on the floor. The teddybear has a red ribbon, again connoting murder She puts the music box on the bedside table and goes to tuck Summer's teddybear in her bed.
    • As she pulls back the covers to place the bear, she realises that what she though was Summer is actually a doll and not in the room. She starts screaming and backs away towards the wall.
