Ideas for location shots

We decided that certain places in our area would be good for shooting certain scenes. For example there is a small woodland area which we thought would be ideal to shoot the dream scene in. This is because the female could be running through the trees as if she is attempting to get away from something (the person trying to kill her). This shot could be in black and white along with being a slow motion mid shot to long shot. I think this is a good idea because it emphasises the fact that it is in fact a dream.

Steph had the idea to film a certain house in our area. This house had a street light outside, and when it’s dark, your shadow is placed over the driveway. We thought it was god to have this showing due to the fact that it connotes a string film noir convention. By having the shadows over the house, it also allows the audience to feel like there is someone watching someone else. This creates a sense of the unknown which links closely with film noir. We know this because if the research we did into the themes of film noir in other films such as ‘Drive’ and ‘Double indemnity’.
