Shot Ideas

While Eva is chatting on the phone with her friend, we envision her applying lip gloss while the stalker is secretly lurking behind her. This type of shot can be referred to as a reflection shot, showing both the person and their reflection. However, Eva's reflection will not take up the the entire mirror as there will be a small space left to see the stalker. 

Example of the shot we are envisioning 

Our film will feature several over-the-shoulder shots to conceal the stalker's identity, creating a sense of mystery an unease. This choice helps establish that the opening scene is a fragment of Sofia's memory, which becomes clearer once the narrative shifts to the therapy session. Since Sofia never saw a picture of Eva's date, she has no concrete image of the stalker. So, when Sofia envisions what happened to Eva, she doesn't know how to picture the stalker. 


For our title, we want to have a sliding title following the car driving away. The title, Missing Eva, would appear from the left or right, synchronized with the lyrics or instrumental beats playing in the background. The fluid motion would help keep the audience engaged while enhancing the emotional tone of our film. 

Example of a sliding title in Juno (2007)
