Because our film required multiple long shots, the movie Split was a very appropriate film to get examples from. Below is a shot of the male antagonist from Split walking down a sidewalk, next to a shot we have of our female protagonist doing the same thing.
Having shots from the antagonists point of view, as well as shots of him grabbing the girl, were vital to our film, so as an influence for these scenes, I researched which camera angles were most common. When shooting, I had these influences in mind and tried to film the same scene from as many perspectives and angles as possible.
Part of our most intense scene was the alley we were shooting in. As I explained in my film diaries, we spent a fair amount of time looking for one with the right look. I had the picture below in mind specifically when we were scouting a good location. While this picture is not from a movie or any well known source, it caught my eye because it had this mysterious and creepy mood that is exactly what my partner and I are going for. To the right of it is the alley we ended up using, which embodies that same eery tone. Also, we liked the idea of the camera filming a long shot of Jenna from behind as she walks down the alley. It provides more of a shock to viewers when her attacker jumps out from behind a corner.
