SETTING AND LOCATION

AS WE HAVE STARTED FILMING THE LOCATIONS USED WERE: A DARK SHED, PAULAS LIVING ROOM AND A PATH WAY SURROUNDED BY TREES.

WHY THESE LOCATIONS?

SHED : the shed has been used as a location as it is full of lots of different things which represent the fact    of Danny being a violent youth. This is represented by the fact that he may need all these things for his evil and violent plans to work.
LIVING ROOM : Only a part of the living room has been used and it is hardly visible, this is because extreme close ups have been used. We, as a group have decided to film in a living room as it was very cold outside/in the shed, so as the living room is bright we have turned of the lighting which has made it look dull and unpleasant. As close ups were being used you could not tell where Danny is based at.
PATH WAY: we have used the path way for Dannys and Leilas meeting, this is because people use path ways to get to places. Also the trees as well as the dark have given of a mysterious and dull effect creating hidden identity, these effects go very well with the title sequence as it is a romantic moment where they meet but also the mysterious side of the film is shown but cannot be revealed that easily.

THE LOCATIONS THAT NEED TO BE USED LATER IN THE FILMING ARE IN PAULAS HOME. THIS IS BECAUSE IN THE TITLE SEQUENCE WE GET TO SEE WHERE LEILA LIVES AND THE HOUSE SHOULD LOOK HOMELY ASWELL AS SUITABLE FOR LEILA. THE AREAS THAT NEED TO BE USED FOR FILMING ARE: PAULAS HOUSE FROM THE FRONT (TO ZOOM IN THE WINDOW), PAULAS BEDROOM, PAULAS DOOR WAY. THE OUTSIDE SCENES CAN BE FILMED ANYWHERE WHERE THERE IS A PATH. EXTREME CLOSE UPS CAN BE ALSO FILMED ANYWHERE AS THE BACKGROUND CANNOT BE SEEN.

WHY THERE LOCATIONS?

HOUSE FROM THE FRONT : this would be so the camera can zoom in from outside into the window, which shows the audience Leila opening the curtains.
PAULAS BEDROOM: this is so the audience can view where Leila lives, and is a good location as it is a bedroom of a girl.
PAULAS DOOR WAY: most of the scenes showing us Leila getting ready are in the corridor, Paula's corridor is very bright and therefore it should show the fact of Leila being a normal innocent girl.
OUTSIDE: this would show that Leila has left the house and is walking to somewhere.
ANYWHERE: the reason of being able to film the extreme closeups anywhere is because the background cannot be seen, and therefore the audience will not know where the scenes are happening.
