The way that no one will possibly be around makes the viewer more jumpy, because they make know that something is there, yet you cannot see or hear it.

Our film is going to be set in two different locations. The main part of the opening is going to take place in an empty dark field. And the second half is going to take place inside a house, where the girl is going to run in and it is empty apart from the woman.
