Considering Location

 When choosing your setting you have to consider Mise-en-scene. As a group we have chosen carefully to what and where we have considered setting our opening regarding Mise en scene and fitting with our Genre and storyline. 

We have considered using a kitchen as one of our settings in our opening, as it is a perfect example and realistic place to show typical family life for a happy family. We are happy with this type of setting as it is a typical environment for a family to spend there mornings before school, work and for breakfast, preparing for the day.
We do not have to depend on weather for high key lighting in this setting to connote a safe and warm light hearted, and happy environment this is due to it being an interior setting. Filming in an interior setting it means that we can depend on our actors to do a good job with the interruption and distraction by others who are not involved in the film.

According to our research on Psychological thrillers, it is expected from a personal view and from the public that reflection from water and mirrors is expected to be in a Psychological thriller. This setting is key to our opening as it is the first time the viewer is introduced to the villain.
This is also an interior setting, which it allows us to have control over lighting and to not be disturbed. Choosing an interior setting is easy access and means it is more viable for us to attain the realism within our setting opposing to choosing a setting, like a spaceship.

This exterior setting is eerie and fits with our genre, as it is a typical warehouse abandoned setting perfect for the role of our villain.
The broken pieces of wood on the floor can connote the breaking of society during our film and opening connoting to the audience when they see this image in the montage of reporters, it gives a glimpse of what it about to come a connotes danger.
However our main concern is considering weather, whether it will effect our filming. We have chosen our perfect weather type below. Grey cloud, low key lighting. For example we would have to frequently consult the weather online and on TV. This time of year is perfect for this weather, but we can alter this on the editing software. Filming this particular setting in sunshine would effect the feel of our scene which we are trying to connote and deliver to our audience. We would also have to make sure that we film what we want to film on the particular day as the weather could change.

This ware house setting is also suitable considering genre and also a setting for the villain in our opening. It suggests danger, as it consists or the colours red, black. It is an interior setting which ables us to control lighting and all elements of Mise-en-scene. We would not have to hinder about weather conditions and the setting is appropriate for the desired character.
The setting allows us not to rush the film as it is interior and not worry about changes within the set.

This is an exterior setting, which can leave us hindering upon the weather as we would have to film everything we wanted on that particular day as we can not depend on the weather not changing. 

The set is key for our opening as we have Abigail the small child walk across showing her legs walking and 'twitching' in the frame and the key moment of her bow being left on the ground. The conifers and fencing would be cut out of the shot making it look like a field open to the public.

Our main concern would be weather. 

We do not have to worry about permission as all these settings belong to the home owner. All has been approved and we have permission.
