Idea for map


This is an example of what we intend our "map" to look like, this example is from the good old memento and the other is from hero's







We would like our map to have this kind of look, as it shows someone has been planing something for a long time with a lot of thought. In our opening the map will depict the antagonists sinister intentions- to stalk/find/kill innocent girls who all look similar. We feel this kind of map will be very creepy and thrilling, especially as it will be constructed during the opening montage by the "killer" who's indentity will be witheld from the audience. Only his reseidence/place of work will be known as we will enter the room where the "killer" is working away at the map through a voyeristic establishing shot,panning through the window, and down to where the room is located within the house!

    The 'Hero's' map is awesome and it would be good if we could make something up similar to it but with duller colours. The memento one isn't acctualy there.. Or my computer won't load it.. One of the two :)

    Great idea - an effective piece of mise-en-scene often makes a real difference to an opening.

    It will take some time and effort to create though. Do you have a budget for pins/string/photo paper/card? All chipping in? Who is the production designer/art director in charge of this important task?

    Whoever it is - better get cracking! :)

    Oh, and make sure you light it effectively...

    I think josh is the most involved with how the map will look. we're gettig hold of a polaroid camera to take pics of "victims"with. i have a giant pin board we will use to put the items onto. the rest is just printig off articles, headlines etc, some pins and maybe some string. i don't think it will cost much or be too diff to assemble. as we are not going to actually film the pro/antagonist (just the hands) we are saving alot on costume, makeup, etc whereas the horror openings were quite exspensive!
