Locations

The first location for our film opening was inside our school. We chose to use the drama studio as it had the open space we needed for the poker game to be done, also an advantage to this room is that it gives option to control the lighting to a setting we could select.
The drama studio. All the curtains were pulled to enclose the area and the poker table was set up in the middle.
One of the many lights we could control.
The second location was the streets near our school, Buckingham Place and Catherine Place. We placed the car on Catherine Place and had the gambler walk down Buckingham Place towards the car, to which the driver would open the door. We chose this location as it was a convenient location for the car owner, who was my mother, and also it was a convenient location for us as the school was a short walk away meaning we could upload the footage as soon as we had finished.
The car was positioned in circle 2 and the gambler walked from 
circle 1 to circle 2.
The third location consisted of my home building. We chose this location as we needed somewhere for the gambler to live. In the building we used the corridors and the front door of my flat. This was used to show the killer forcefully taking the gambler inside for him to meet his doom. Also, the corridor would be where the killer reveals himself to be the poker player who had lost to our gambler and how he had set up the deal with the driver of the gambler. Below is the corridor where the killer and driver meet. The driver will be standing at the far end of the corridor whereas the killer will be coming from the near end towards the driver.



Although my hallway is dark and narrow, and fits well with the conventions of horror, it does not fit the ideals of the character played by Luke being rich, as the floor is cement, several cobwebs and badly painted rails, would not suit the character. 



The hallway of Aram's flat is clean with nice sources of light, and carpet, further improving the rich experience. Further more the narrowness of the hallwas make the character feel trapped as shown.
