Location Shots- Location 1

This shot, looking down the stairs is very good at creating a slightly uncomfortable feel. I will use shots like this and this location when I want to create tension or isolation. I may use these location, or locations like this, for the opening shot. To use this as the opening shot I would bring the camera up the stairs to make the audience feel like they are entering the film but also bring it up the stairs which would elevate toward the characters.

This shot is of the same stairs as the first but from the other side. I would use these stairs as the opening shot going toward the door, where the main character would be. This would rather be in one continuous shot, following through from the bottom of the stairs until it is in the room. Or be cross cutting between a memory or dream of the character. This cross cutting would be useful as it would introduce the characters into the film, but also create tension which can be broken by a birds eye shot looking down at the younger brother, he would then weak up, breaking the uncomfortable tension that is created by the cross cutting between the dream and reality.

I will use this area and shot during the opening shot to move into the room. I may also use this area as it is very bland and colourless. It is also very normal and what you expect someone to live in, making the narrative seem more real. 

.

This I will use as the area where the girl has to confront the boy, as it is very enclosed and has a dark corner. I an then move objects out of the way, allowing more room. However I want to use a corner or enclosed space for the final confrontation as it will make the character feel more trapped and then make the audience feel more for him.

I will use shots like this when the younger brother is still looking for his older brother, these will e quick cuts in one sequence, while I would put eerie music over the top to create an unconmfortable tension for the audience. I will also do this to make the charctrer feel more paniced.
