Ideas Ideas!

I have thought of more aspects of the opening. So since I am really going in on that aspect of almost personal violation of being watched without knowing that you're being watched I thought it would be a good idea to have the killer record their point of view of what's happening. Maybe the whole thing can be from their point of view I think that could work really well, especially as a way to lead off into a story. Maybe once the video ends of what the killer recorded before they got to their victim we can see that the footage is in the police's hands telling us that this case is ongoing. So then it would make sense why we can even see the footage that the killer recorded.

There is a really chilling true crime case that is extremely similar to what I am going for. It's the case of  Stephen McDaniel. This case is a terrifying one as we can see what the McDaniel saw just moments before he strangled Lauren Giddings. The home recording showing the inside of Lauren Gidding's dorm room with Lauren completely unknowing to what McDaniel is doing and what he plans to do. That is something I want to emulate with the home recording vibe. It's something closer to reality than we think and that is what makes it so scary. It's so scary to think that you can be that person, you could be watched, and recorded. And you would have no idea.

There is another true crime story that I am going to take some inspiration from. The vampire of Sacramento case. Basically in this case Richard Chase a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic went on a killing spree and drank his victims blood. The scariest part about this case was how Richard would go from door to door and search windows. If a door or window was not locked he would walk inside and kill whatever living creature he could find. That is so scary to me as imagining someone going door to door and checking your windows for any way to break in just so they can come in and kill you. I plan on emulating that aspect with my opening where the killer will be seen trying to enter multiple houses leading up to the final house which left a door unlocked.
