We went out and took photos of the house and location that we have pretty much decided our film will be shot at. Here they are...



A shot of the house we will use. Can move the car and so forth, because it doesn't need to be in the film, and I think it would mess up the mise en scene of the film. A car would make the situation seem too normal, and look amateurish.



A shot of the street the house is on from the front drive way. Obviously the bins would be moved out of the way, and we need to consider where the supernatural character would stand. Too close and it would look not right, and too far away and the camera would not pick him up properly, and it would look like he's not even in the film.



A shot looking up the stairs. We need to consider the camera angles for when the good guy goes up the stairs, although currently we are going for a match-on-action effect, and only showing him starting to go up the stairs, and then reaching the top.



A shot of the living room window. Need to think about the angles of where we place our characters in relation to each other, and the angle they are to the window.



Lokking out the window and into the street. Wouldn't normally have a bin lorry in the way though. This shot reflects the part of the film where the good guy is looking out the window at the supernatural character.



Shot of the top of the stairs. This is where the good guy will head when he goes up the stairs, and into a room on the right hand side. The darkness may be an issue, because the camera may not work in that light.



Shot out of the upstairs window. This shot reflects where the good guy is looking out the window to check where the supernatural character has gone towards the end of the film.



Shot of the doorway in the room upstairs we will be using. This is where the final shots of the film would take place, where the supernatural character is in the room. We need to be careful when filming to avoid the camera appearing in the mirror at the side of the room.



Shot of the window from the doorway. Shows how big the space we have to work with is.



Shot of the mise en scene of the room, can change and move things though. May leave it mostly as it is, because it makes the room more realistic, and not like an empty box.
