Filming Locations
We asked a few people we knew if they had a rather effeminate bedroom, but that wasn't what we were looking for. We wanted a feminine look but the main character is a girl in her late teens, so we just wanted pink walls of some sort, and this bedroom is quite spacious so we decided on this room. The en-suite bathroom was an extra that wasnt expected, but works really well for one of the scenes.
This house has the perfect cupboard for the film; it is small with not a lot of room and there is only a lock on one side of the cupboard door. There is also enough room in there to make the shrine and put a desk for the antagonist's laptop while he sits there looking at her pages. It is particularly good at creating some effective camera angles in there as well, which is what we were attempting to do.
We had chosen to use Karl's living room at his house because it needed to be somewhere that fit similarly with the aethetics of the closet room with the cupboard that the actress would be filming in. It works brilliantly because it is just a plain sofa with a table next to it with it he can put his can of beer on and use the ashtray to put his cigarette in.
Luckily, someone we knew had a lake in thier back garden which made it a lot easier for us to film the scene where the antagonist dumps the protagonist's body. The areais quiet, so there will be barely any background sound and will be dark so will only be able to see what from his headlights which could look quite interesting. There is also a sprinkler in the garden, however his will be turned off for filming.
This park has a scene that Karl had pictured for quite a while, so will be using that for the scene where the antagonist hits the boyfriend and takes the girl. Especially in autumn it will look visually pleasing in the outcome. Lighting is the only possible issue but we have an artificial one that we can use. Hopefully there wont be too many people around at this time so there are no interuptions.
