Location/Setting

Our opening only requires the setting of a normal house and as such, for sake of convenience, we have decided to use Nicloe's house as the location for all our filming. We will be filming most of it at night to make it look as authentically dark as possible, and so that there are few others on the road that day from whom we'd need to get permission.
We will also need permission from Nicole's parents, but she assures us this won't be a problem.
It will also be useful for the bedroom shots as the character in our sequence is a teenage girl and as such is likely to have a similar room to Nicole, making it look more realistic.
At first we were concerned that one setting will not be interesting enough but after discussing it we have decided that the tension in the scene will be created by our interesting camera work and editing, rather than where the piece is set. Moreover, this singular setting is appropriate to the story and is the only place we have time (in the fairly restricted time of 2 minutes) to actually show.

Nicole will be taking photos of her house and the locations within it that we'll be using and uploading them to the blog as soon as possible.
