Location

We have decided to have our filming at Amelia's house as we feel that this can bring all of our conventions together in an easy and effective way. This is because at the end of the garden there is a pool that we wish to use to make our thriller different and effective. We will start filming upstairs where Katie will be in the bathroom and I will be in Amelia's bedroom. We will be speaking to each other through the different rooms and the camera location will capture this effectively.

The second room that we will use in our location will be the games room downstairs after the house has gone dark due to a power cut. This room is dark and next to the garden so it is a good place to hold a conversation.

The filming then moves down the garden, when at this point will be pitch black and not a light in sight. This also means that we have to ensure it is dark when we are filming. At the bottom of the garden is a swimming pool with a roof over the top. Having the swimming pool at the bottom of the garden means that we can add to the psychological effects of the watcher, by making them think that there is something/someone in or near the water. This is ultimately the main reason for choosing Amelia's house as our location and we hope that this can add a twist to our filming.

The location we used for our first scene was in the bedroom. This was when i was getting ready and shouting to Katie through the bathroom. We thought that this would be the most effective as it seemed 'real' this is because when getting ready the bathroom and the bedroom are the main places that girls go. This adds realism. 

The second location that we filmed in was the bathroom. This flicked from where I was getting ready to where Katie was getting ready. Katie was brushing her teeth in the mirror. This is where we started filming the 'supernatural'. We could make good use of the mirror and when Katie dropped her toothbrush, a figure appeared...

We then filmed from the top of the stairs. This was when things started to get scary. It was used for long in the film, only when I ran screaming down the stairs because the lights flickering were scaring me.

We then got the shot of when i came down from the stairs to make it seem more dramatic and effective. I ran towards the camera using match on action.
















This is the scene that we filmed in the games room. We used shot/reverse shot for the conversation that took place here and also match on action when Katie walked towards the door.

The last location that we filmed was outside. However the quality of the pictures that we took were not good enough to post. The rest was filmed going up to the pool area and then in the pool area.
