Location photos- The House

Location 1~ Daryl's House (Outside)

The first location we will be using is the driveway leading up to Daryl's House. The chosen location provides an ideal average looking house and neighbourhood for Daryl to be living in, which will allow us to create a false sense of normality.

We decided that an Establishing Extreme Long Shot would start our film off well. It will allow us to set the scene of the film, as well establish one of our main characters, who will be walking down this driveway.

We then wanted to follow the character into his home, using Medium Shots. We chose this as it allows the audience to get closer to the character, but also continue this uncertain atmosphere about the character. We then decided to have a Medium Close Up Shot of him opening the door and entering the house. This would then match on action a Medium Close Up Shot inside the house.

Location 2~ Daryl's House (Hallway)

The second location is within Daryl's House, the hallway is very simplistic in order to continue the false perception that Daryl is an ordinary man. The simple layout of the house allows us to keep his character a secret.

The change of location would be shot in a Medium Close Up, which will allow us to establish the character's identity, such as his job (eg. removing his tie).

The next shot would be a Long Shot, allowing us to continue the false sense of identity as we watch him move through his house.

We decided a Medium Close Up Shot would also be good for when our character changes locations again, to continue this uncertainty about him. However, when it came around to film it, we decided that a Close Up Shot of him opening the garage door would be more effective. This would also allow us to include another match on action.

Location 3~ Daryl's House (Garage)

The third location is Daryl's garage. In this location we want to develop Daryl's identity and motives. Daryl uses the garage as his own private space, where he doesn't have to keep secrets and wear a false identity.

For the next shot we wanted to once again establish the room, using a Long Shot. We would use dark lighting and effective music to suggest something sinister about this room, allowing us to develop this character. When we shot this scene, we use this shot but from the other side of the garage, which would allow us to get better angles and create an effective eerie mood.

Initially we wanted our character to sit down in the middle of this Medium Shot, and read through the journal. However, once we started filming we decided that an over-the-shoulder shot of him turning the pages would be more effective, this would be a Close Up Shot.
