Continued ideas for setting and location

To decide on a location, we had to come up with the plot for our film opening. Once we had the plot in place we built the setting and location around this idea and we have come up with the places that we want to film. Along the way we found that one location would not be as suitable due to it being a public walkway and busy throughout most of the day; alongside the aspect of it being crowded for most of the day, there was also a complicated process of getting permission to film there and insurance would have had to have been settled in order for us to go there. To combat this we found another area wherein the tunnel scene of our opening could happen, this area has turned out to be more suitable as there is already lighting there and there is a more close atmosphere to what we wanted from it.

As our opening comes from three scenes, put together by a series of quick cuts, we needed three available locations. these are a bath, a girls plain room and a tunnel. 

We have chosen to film in a house where the walls are plain without decoration, this will reflect the idea of the girls 'lost' nature and allow the audience to focus on the only two things in the scene that we want them to: the girl and her 'reflection'.

For the bath scene we will just use the bathroom of the house, we will likely have to use a waterproof camera and film above the actress to see her slip down under the water for the drowning scene.

Lastly, the tunnel we originally planned to use the tunnel in Greenwich that goes underneath the Thames. This ended up being more trouble than it was worth as we would only need it for a quick series of cuts to create a montage and one longer shot used in a running scene. We instead used an underpass located near Danson park, our other chosen location that we were able to film in during the day without much disruption from members of the public.
