Location and Lighting!


TV STUDIO
As our script is mainly based on the settings which are inside, the way we could create an authentic looking interrogation room and apartment (without anything giving it away that it's a teenagers room) would be to use the TV Studio. This was our one way of making a set and environment which was suitable for our script and for us to film freely in without making any continuity mistakes.



The Interrogation scene all we needed was a table and two lights, one which was hang in the center of the table and one to cast shadow and highlight the actors faces. Even though from these photographs it basically looks like a studio, after doing a few test shots with the camera, we got a very atmospheric look and you wouldn't even recognise the place in which we filmed in. To get window shadows on the wall, we easily taped up boards and after test shots they just looked like the effect of shadows in the distance.


The Apartment scene was harder, We used three lights, one of which was a normal table lamp to light our Femme Fatales face with lots of shadow to create the effect of something bad. We also thought that using blue filters over the light would soften the light and make it look cold, which could work really well with editing after. We arranged the furniture in a way that it would look like a normal apartment, for the bed though we struggled, and came to the conclusion we could make a very realistic bed using bedding material and a large table with cushions.
