Location Recee;




For Chloe's scenes, we wanted to create a sinister and melancholy feel. In order to achieve this, we decided that the best time to film would be on a bridge overlooking water at night.
We thought the bridge and the water were important elements because they would suggest notions of suicide and death from Chloe's part.
Accordingly, we chose Lambeth bridge as you can see above. Another reason for choosing Lambeth Bridge was because it overlooks London making it aesthetically pleasing. At night, the lights from the Houses of Parliament and the London eye work extremely well against the bleak bridge and black water.
We needed this scene to be well lit because if it wasn't, the camera would not have picked up Chloe and so would not have been successful.
We also wanted these scenes to be the most dramatic and we thought Lambeth Bridge met all our critera.

For Cameron and Cleo's scenes, we wanted to film at an every day normal setting. We thought the best place for this would be a house as everybody is familiar with being in a home environment and a bedroom.
We filmed at Cleo's house, filming Cameron and Cleo walking in from the outside of her house. This was to establish the setting.

We then filmed to stairs to show that the characters were headed to a bed(upload bedroom photo here)room (unpoload stairs here) and we then filmed the characters in the bedroom.
I thought that the locations we chose were most suitable for our film opening because they fitted the genre perfectly and created the exact mood that we needed. So overall, i was very happy with the locations.
