location list

There as been many ideas for location when filming and the majority have been dissolved due to different issues. Our first idea was to originally to film in a wooded area. This had to be reconsidered due to the lighting. Only a certain time of of day would provide the accurate light needed and as artificial lighting was not an option it would make it very difficult to film all footage we needed and more as a back up in this space of time. Also if we went back to this location continuity would be a problem making sure accurate lighting was in place, clothes, and also the mise en scene . Weather could easily make this inaccurate and change over the week.

Another idea of an outside scene was a pier. This would be another location where the male figure would be filmed. However once again this had to be dissolved due to the reason that when we had planned on filming it was too busy, which produce far too much ambient sound. If it was to be filmed earlier/later in the day it would take away the lighting that we wanted.

The final outdoor idea we had, and went along with was a train station. We chose this idea as it could easily fit in with a story line and both felt that is would fit in with the conventions of our chosen genre.We also filmed an indoor sequence, inside a house, doing every-day things. We chose a house as it emphasises the normality of these sequence. It would have natural, neutral lighting which means we can re-film if needed and so that there will be no continuity errors. We used a bedroom and a kitchen and minimised the used of props in the shot so that it could be seen as either modern or noir.

The indoor settings include the bedroom and the kitchen :
