Location 2

The House

Originally we intended to use a multi storey car park for our second location but this proved difficult so we decided to change to this house, which would in the story be the house of Ruby's current lover. We will film in the evening so the lighting will make the location feel more claustrophobic and enigmatic, typical traits of film noir movies. 

The big wooden door and single source of light (porch light) will give the scene an eery feeling which teamed with music will increase the tension giving the audience the feeling that something bad is going to happen. The bars on the porch give a sense of entrapment, which suggests Ruby has no escape from her inevitable fate. 

We will use an extreme close up of Ruby's hand trying to open the door. This will add some confusion and the audience will wonder who's house she is trying to get into. This adds to the mystery and tension of the plot line as there are a lot of loose ends that will be explained later on in the film. The close up will give a sense of claustrophobia, which will highlight that Ruby is alone, making her seem more vulnerable. 

The open space of the drive up to the house is bleak and empty which suggests the loneliness of Ruby, it again will make her seem vulnerable and look small against the grand scheme of things. As we will film at night the space will look more suspicious - as in, it will heighten the feeling that something bad is going to follow.

This is where the attack will take place. This location is similar to large empty spaces used in films such as Essex Boys.
