Choosing our locations to film

 This post will explain where we choose to film and why it is we picked these specific places.

    The locations that films are shot in are quite vital for the setting and atmosphere. Without the proper place to film, the movie might not make much sense given the context of the location. For our film, the locations we filmed in were carefully chosen so that the film as a whole felt cohesive and made sense given the nature of the film.

    I picked the office building that appears in the first scene of the film because it was a location that would seem appropriate for our main character to be working in and it was very close for my group to head to. It is not a very outstanding building; it is quite boring, which suits the main character well since he himself is very bored and dissatisfied with his current state of affairs. The parking lot next to the building also suited our needs since it was very empty, leaving lots of space for us to film and position our cars perfectly.

    The next location that we shot at was my partner Daniel's house. His house was the ideal location for us to shoot the rest of our film. The contained a garage with a motion sensor that would stop when it detected something trying to enter when the door was closing, which was perfect for the scene when the secondary character sneaks into the house. Additionally, the layout of Daniel's living room was set up in a way that allowed us to shoot the final scene of the movie. Everything that we needed for the second part of the film was located in his house and I am grateful that we were able to use his home for our project.
