The Office
The use of this location was to show elements of Alice's personality through her owned items and decoration of her office; showing her old fashioned style, and reflecting her occupation of a psychologist. The high key lighting creating a sense of comfort in contrast to other shots.
With this location we were also able to use natural daylight for our shots, the realistic dull feel reflecting the narrative, the white/blue hues showing Alice's sadness.
The House
The use of this location was to make it feel as if Alice was in danger, even in the safety of her own home, as flowers are delivered mysteriously to her door. This reflecting our chosen genre.
This particular door is also wooden, looking more older than new plastic/glass doors, we thought this was suitable for our character Alice as she is not a reflection of modern times.
The Alleyway
The alleyway scene needed to have low key lighting to give an isolated, dark feel to the film, reflecting H's creepy character. the alleyway is lit by one lamp, which we used to light H's face coming out with a good quality shot as he emerges from the tunnel.
The Basement
We used a small dark cellar to film the torture scenes, as we could turn all lights off to get optimum darkness, then use a torch to light the characters. This created shadows and chiaroscuro, reflecting our thriller genre and adding mystery. You cannot see a lot of the location but this was done to confuse the veiwer as to where Alice was being held.
The cellar is dull and creepy giving an eerie and dark feel to the shots.
The Bus Stop
We used the bus stop to create a sense of comfort being invaded, also showing that in any location Alice is, she is always being watched by H, even when doing simple tasks such as waiting for a bus.
The Bed
Alice laying on the bed was used as the last shot, the bed connoting comfort and safety which is then interrupted by Alice's half skull face being revealed; she is no longer safe, creating an ironic twist.
