Our stalker board

These photos are of our stalker board in progress, which I made. It features things we thought were appropriate for a stalker board.

This is our initial map on a piece of A1 board. It features Cambridge and the surrounding areas, the area where our thriller opening is set.



Here I started to cut out newspaper clippings and relavant headlines that will stand out. These headlines include 'More Die' 'Buried Alive' and 'Lost'. Eventually all the writing down the left side will be covered by various newspaper clippings. The clippings don't actually have any reference to anything in particular but they arn't there to be read by the audience merely an insentive, a hint almost that they are connected to the crossed out photos and headlines.


Here i have started to add pictures and string going from the headlines and photos to locations. On this picture the string appears to be the same color as some of the roads but in real life they do stand out.

In the right corner is where Bronte's character comes in. Using a ringed papparazzi style photo along with a sketch of the rabbit mask should indicate to the audience shes next. The rabbit mask sketch should indicate a masked man? or like other photos where I've included sketches it might indicate whats going to happen to her. This corner will have no newspaper clippings near, nothings happened to her yet so she wont have had any stories published about her at this time.

This photo also shows 3 colored photos in a pile, which will be 4. They are for our opening credits. They were printed in color to make them stand out from the images connected to the stalker and his doings. These photos will have our roles underneath so our credits can link to the stalker board and the audience will know everyones part.

Close up photos of our color photos and roles.


These are unfinished i need to add 'Editor' trim off all the white paper and stick them on the stalker board. Hopefully they have a nice 'stalker board' feel to them. Each letter is an individual cut out from the Sunday Times newspaper which took a long time but all worth it.



This is our final stalker board. The only thing missing is our color role photos, but I thought the rest of the group would appreciate putting theirs where they wanted.

I feel there needs to be more newspaper clippings but looking at it I think its only the right hand side thats lacking but that would counter act the string, I didn't want it to look to busy.
I think more chunkier headlines wouldve been good but there are slim pickings. Lots of these sorts of stories are from Iraq, China, Turkey and Russia so the stories are in tiny sections all on half of a page, so the headlines are small. The foreign sotries were used the middle on the right hand side and the bottom. These two and one more, the one in the top middle are true stories. The one top, middle was a print out but I felt the paper stood out so I chose not to carry on with this method of story finding, even though searching through 40+ newspapers is time consuming. The story is about a women dieing on station train tracks, I linked this with string to Cambridge station.
I doubt is going to work on a classroom wall but i have faith in my groups choice to do so.
