Final Filming (Loctions)

The Filming locations we chose to do our film was in three different sites. The first site was at Toms house which is in Great Barr. The second site was in my (Ismail) house which is also in Great Barr and finally the third site was in handsworth which was a building where I use to work at. Below I will give more details and these three locations and explain why i chose this location.

The first location, Great Barr at Toms house, was needed to get the part of the film where the serial killer has a nightmare of his past. But this location was not vital due to the fact that the only parts that will be recorded was a top view of the killer lying on his bed. There was nothing else showing in the room except the pillow and bed therefore this scene can be done at the other two locations in case this Toms house isn't available at the time. But overall the main reason we chose this site was because we were all able to reach this destination easily therefore it was be less stressful and time consuming when organising the group to meet up at this place. But there was no specific setting needed for this film therefore this did not matter.

The second location, Great Barr at my house (Ismail), will be used to get the scene of the actual dream of where the mom leaves the serial killer when he was a baby. Firstly the dream will take place in one of the bedrooms. The bedroom looks cheap and modern therefore the audience can tell that the mother of the baby is slightly poor and untidy. This will help show the audience that the serial killer has come from an unhealthy background. This location would defiantly be available but if there was to be a problem we could use Toms house to record these scenes. But the only problem we would face would be getting a actor for the mothers part.

The third location was in a house where I use to work at. This house is three floors high and has been converted into flats by a house developer, but they never got around to finishing it therefore the place looks very creepy and spooky which would help establish the scene and atmosphere of the scene. The scenes that would takes place here is when the killer walks down the stairs which leads to the basement after having his nightmare. In the basement the killer will look at his weapons with blood all over it which establishes in the film that he is a killer. This scene is vital to get correct because if we were to make a mistake some how then the message wouldn't get across to the audience that well. The problem with this location is that there are some days where the house could be under construction therefore there may be days where we won't be able to record at this location which would result to major loss of time. Also in this location we will record the killer walking down the basement towards were he keeps all his weapons and equipment. This particular setting is very creepy and untidy therefore it would help establish the mood and theme.
