Location




Our film will be shot in three main locations: the park in Middleton Cheney, the cafe and Timothy's bedroom. There will be a significant shot however, of Timothy walking down a dark street (Church Lane, Middleton Cheney) where it will reveal Timothy's emotions. This scene will be shot at night where there will only be street lamps for the lighting, perhaps other lights if needed. 
The shot in the cafe will be over the shoulder shots from both of the characters and also perhaps an establishing shot from the inside. There will be an establishing shot/wide shot from outside of the cafe as well, this will be a time lapse; showing how time has progressed. The finishing shot of the cafe will be at night. The camera will follow Timothy face on, coming out of the cafe. This will reveal a lot of the characters in-emotions and create a sinister feel. 
The shot of the street will be quick, an establishing shot to create a mysterious effect, there will be a sense of horror with the church and grave yard being next to the street. The next shot will be a dolly shot following Timothy walking down the street. There will be a shot of his feet and face. This street is very small, appearing quite creepy as the church makes it appear even smaller. The light will be limited because there are not many street lamps, this will make Timothy appear to be very sinister.
The shot in the park will be a flashback, the swings will be very significant as in many horrors or thrillers there is a shot, creating a creepy feel. We will recreate this shot, but it will be done during the day so the audience are left guessing on what might happen. The park will be empty, this connotes loneliness and that no one has much care for it. This will confuse the audience when they see two/three children playing in it, implies maybe something dangerous may occur to one of the children as there are no adults around. 

The bedroom shot will have dark interior, which connotes secrecy and dullness. The bedroom will be relatively empty looking, rather messy and generally very plain. This will give the audience an immediate impression of the character of Timothy. It will have low level lighting to further emphasize his lack of emotion.
