We started planning ideas, brainstorming possible titles, plot-lines and styles of film. We settled on a serial killer story, which has been highly popular for decades. Our original idea was called "Darkroom" which would involve the character taking pictures of his victims and leaving them in strategic places, but focusing on the police trying to catch him (similar to Seven). However, we had no way of filming our original ideas due to lack of photographical knowledge and not being able to fake a police scene. We changed to another idea, of a masked killer. We believed this was heavily stereotyped, so we wished to break conventions of him murdering in fairly public locations, and not being particularly cunning in his murders, with no thought left to hiding clues to who he is, just wanting to repeatedly kill.
From here we began to storyboard our ideas, roughly planning the shots we wished to take. We stuck mostly to this, but during filming, we decided to film extra shots we devised there and then. However, not all these made the cut.
