"You ready?"

After completing a rough cut of our film, we quickly realized that the sequence wasn't as seamless as we hoped it would be. We decided that reshooting a portion of the scene would help improve the overall look of the car scene. 

The initial version of the scene begins with the stalker closing the car door on Eva's side, which then cuts to a shot of him inside the car asking, "You ready?". The issue we had was a continuity error. When we first put the shots together, we realized that it didn't really make sense. In the previous shot, the stalker is seen closing the door, which implies Eva is already in the car with him. But then, in the next shot, the stalker is already in the car, without any view of him sitting down and closing the door. The inconsistency disrupts the flow of the scene and takes away from the meaning of the moment. 

To fix this, we've decided to reshoot the scene with a few important changes that will help tell the story and create more tension. Our new approach begins with the stalker sitting in the car and closing the door, which feels much more natural. This minor change will ensure there is no confusing about how he got into the car. Then, he will ask Eva, "Are you ready?" and she will respond with "Yeah". The new dialogue from Eva also adds to the tension, since the silence in the previous version wasn't creating tension. 

One of the main choices we've made throughout the film is to keep the stalkers identity hidden. In this scene, we want to maintain the sense of mystery by using a lower angle shot from the passenger side of the car, focused on the stalker as he gets in. The camera will be positioned low enough to show him sitting down and closing the door, but not high enough to reveal his face. This angle will allow the audience to focus on the body language of the stalker.
