The document discusses location choices for a group project's opening sequence. It describes using a house with a corridor, downstairs bedroom, and bathroom. The bathroom was used briefly to add realism. The corridor showed a dark silhouette and helped set an isolating, fearful tone. The bedroom provided space for varied shots and an eerie view of the corridor, fitting for the opening. Finally, an establishing long shot of the house was used to set the scene without revealing the horror genre.
2. Our Group Ideas
• As a group, we all decided to use a house as
our final location.
• The different areas we decided to use were
the corridor, downstairs bedroom, and
bathroom. We chose these areas as we knew
we would have a good amount of space to
work in as well as being able to produce an
opening sequence with a good overall setting.
3. Bathroom
• The bathroom isn’t properly used, however, a
small shot of it is used just to show Rachel
existing the bathroom and getting ready for
bed. This was done in order to add a sense of
realism, by this we mean, it was used so that it
would make the scene seem more natural and
unsuspicious.
4. Corridor
• The corridor is used to show the dark silhouette of
Lucy. We decided to use this corridor and it was fairly
long and had a good amount of dull lighting with
elements of light that set the scene well. The
narrowness and dullness of the corridor help to
present the ideas of isolation and fear and portray
the overall horror genre.
5. Bedroom
• The bedroom was a key location in our opening
sequence. This is because is had a good amount of
space for us to be able to use a variety of different
shots and angles. Also, the view of the corridor from
the bedroom was good as it made the scene look
eerie and mysterious which was perfect for our
opening sequence. The colours are all very neutral,
this means that it is neither masculine nor feminine.
6. House
• The house was used to make the opening
sequence look more natural. This was so that
the audience would be unaware of the genre
and the scare at the end of the scene. At the
start a long shot of the house is used so that
the audience understand the setting.
