Shot ideas

We are planning to shot the sequence in reverse, starting with a hooded figure dumping the body in the woods, then one of the body being taken out of the car by the murderer, followed by the same car driving down the road to the woods, then we'll have a shot of the murderer coming out of a house to reveal that it is a woman police officer.

Throughout the sequence we will use a variety of shots to produce an effective thriller opening. We'll use long shots to show the surrounding area and much closer shots of the figure and also the body to create greater tension within the sequence. We don't want to show too much of the murderer's appearance until the end shot of her coming out the house so a combination of the black hood concealing her face and the shots we use it will keep her hidden so throughout the sequence the audience will ask questions about who the person is.
