Having discussed our thoughts for our film and coming up with a final idea, we need to get an understanding of what sort of locations we want to include in our short film, so we can choose our locations appropriately. By researching it also helps us identify the limitations we may have when finding locations as we may not be able to find exactly what we want. The narrative is set in an old fashioned victorian house, preferably in an isolated location, to make the house seem more mysterious and creepy. We want the old fashioned house to fit with the narrative, as the parents are of an older age, and are quite dated considering the short film is set in present time, which provides a reasoning behind their strange manner. A limitation we may have with finding a location fitting to this image is being able to find a house which is appears as old fashioned, likewise it would be hard to find one in an isolated location which would be available to use. An alterative to an isolated location, would be down a dark street, again to add to the mystery and contribute to the fear of the unknown, with dark alleys. We want the house to be filmed in the dark as it fits with narrative as the girl is babysitting in the evening. Likewise dark settings contribute to the typical codes and conventions found within the horror genre. One of the main locations within the house is going to be the baby's room. Ideally we would want the room to be old fashioned like the house with an old baby's crib for the doll to be sleeping in. However we need to consider the limitations of finding a location to fit our ideas as it would be hard to find the appropriate miss-en-scene. Comments are closed.
