I was looking at certain settings where we could produce our Establishing shot/s. When i came across my alley way in the dark night as i was walking home i flipped out my phone camera and took pictures. I am aware that most of the images are not as clear but i thought if i do not turn my flash on it will give the scene a scarier effect but i was wrong because it just looks plain and simply dark! i don't want the alley way to be a long timing shot just to set the mood of the whereabouts of where the victim lives. The shot of the front door will definitely be used just to create a extra suspicion and reveal that the action is going to take place indoors in the comfort of her own home and hospitality's. Anyway let me know what you think guys thank you :)
This was a shot taken of my road leading up to the house. This image shows approximately how far it is from my house to the alleyway. For this we will have to cut out some of the walking as the suspect enters the front door. If we were planning to shoot the whole walking distance and include all of this in our two minute opening then we just wouldn't have enough time! In this case we would have to choose quality over quantity.
This picture and the one above are side photo's mid-end of my alleyway. As you can see, its all a bit freakish and does have a certain lighting to it, so it will be clear for the audience to see but only to a extent. hopefully when we film during the night a shadow will be noticeable. All of this adding to the 'Horror' of the clip. (mis-en-scene)
This is the main path of my alleyway. I tried to take a photo as clear as possible for everyone to se the whole alleyway, as i do walk down here myself at nighttime i know just how silent and mysteriously freaky this place can be.
This is a shadow of my friend, but its relevent. i asked her to stand there so that i could analyse whether she can be seen or not. As you can all tell she cant, meaning that out killer wont be seen which is exactly what i am after. The whole point is not to reveal the identity of the killer, for the audience to do the investigation themselves.
As the killer looks to different directions of the alleyway, i am hoping to get a point of view shot of him seeing this. i just think the metal wires adds to the un-comfert of the alleyway. It comes across as though there is no escape and no way out. Don't you agree?







What a great and seemingly spooky location! Consider camera angles and movements that can add to the effect.
