Fiction adaptation- ideas for shots.

I have been thinking some more about my fiction adaptation unit and in more detail about the way i will shoot it. I was originally planning on having the whole thing shot from a POV angle with a few other shots of the scene here and there, but now Helen has given me a suggestion of possibly using the idea of voyeurism. Voyeurism is based on a person who has an interest in someone who is doing something that is considered private. A good example of a voyeurism film is the 1960 film Peeping Tom directed by Michael Powell, in which a young man murders women, using a video camera whilst in the process to film their dying expressions of terror.
I would use the method of voyeurism in my film by having the stalkers POV on the young innocent girl. This would not only give the impression of the girl being much more innocent but in a more vulnerable position. Along with sounds such as heavy breathing from the stalker and fast panicked breathing from the young girl, this will create the effect I am looking for.
