Location Research

This mid shot shows an ordinary office. The props help to create this notion as there is a work lamp present and a computer, printer, scanner, books, phone and a chair, all of which are on the table. This creates a feeling of normality, the ordinarily of the props make it easier for the audience to connect and relate to. This is why we have chosen it as a location because it makes the viewers feel safe. So by using the sound or editing can be used to threaten the safeness of the viewers.

This shot shows a bathroom, this allows the audience to link this image to home. As the bathtub, the curtain and the shampoos are all items used in the family bathroom; this puts the audience in their comfort zone. The pink walls suggest that the character is female. The significance of choosing this shot as an ideal location is that the viewers  immediately know that the character is getting ready, this hints that the character has been out or going out. We have choosing it as a location because of the mirror designed cabinet, the character is supposed to look in the mirror and then sees something scary in its reflection.

This long shot shows a forest, the props help to make it appear both mysterious and yet friendly; the warm sun, the green leaves the tall trees. This is a good location because it contrasts with the above locations, this will show the audience what genre this movie is. It is strange to see a forest after seeing settings associated with home and the work place. This shows that something bad will happen.
