For our opening sequence we decided to focus on including the following:
Tape: This was used to cover one of the actresses mouth to show that she's vulnerable and can't scream for help, she's isolated. This shows the twisted nature of the protagonist that's followed throughout the sequence. Tape was also used to tie her hands together, this shows that there's no escape for her and that she's weak, showing the dominance and authority the protagonists withholds.
A computer (and its accessories): This communicates to the audience that the protagonist is an internet stalker as he's seen focusing on a computer and typing on a keyboard. This shows the audience how he finds his victims and therefore sets the mood for the film by defining it with a clear genre of a techno thriller.
Wire: This was used to again, tie an actress up showing that she's alone and defenseless. The choice to use a wire/ cable instead of tape, this time demonstrates how dependant modern society is on their electronics as they're what are accessible in the common household. This also vindicates the protagonists dependency on cables that allow him to find his victims when connected to the back of a computer, and later claim them as his own when they're dead.
