Location Pictures

LOCATION PICTURES – By Kiera Tolhurst

 1.     THE KITCHEN

The kitchen is the main setting in the opening sequel of our film. This gives the film a style of realism which makes the creepy appearance of Piper even more frightening. The kitchen has a desktop which we used as a table for the three characters to sit around through the main duration of the first two minutes.

2.     THE RIVER

The river is one of the most important settings in the first two minutes and the whole film. This is where the flashback of Piper’s death occurs. This setting is creepy and eerie as it involves the danger of deep water (in which Piper drowns), the scary reflections of the trees upon the water and a sense of the unknown.

3.     THE WOODLANDS

The woodlands is another setting in the flashback scene involving Piper’s death. Carter is seen dragging Piper up from the river and into the woodlands where she is later photographed by police. The woodlands hold a sense of mystery and the unknown.

4.     THE WINDOW LOOKING OUT TO THE GARDEN

The kitchen overlooks a large window, in which the spirit of dead Piper returns to her friends. We decided to use a window between her and the other three characters to show the barrier between life in the room and death on the outside. The sun also reflects down on the window which creates this sort of ‘glow’ around Piper.
