Location

Deciphering our location proved to be rather easy task as we already had a location in mind that was easily accessible and it's surrounding settings fitted well with our original plan of how we wanted the location to look. In our plans we specifically wanted some form of river as it can have a duel affect: to set an equilibrium of a peaceful setting but also creates an air of mystery. Again it seemed Alexia's street and house were the perfect setting for this as not only did she have a river close by, but there were plenty of surrounding paths that we could utilise when Rosie was walking with the baby.

When considering potential locations we had to take into account the fact we were filming with a baby and some of the shots would be Rosie walking on the road etc. So this immediately eliminated my house as a location as I live on a busy main road and this would act as a potential danger to our actors. Another positive of this location is that it was a rather desolate area with little people passing by, this allowed us to take a variety of long shots and experiment with angles

Alexia's house was very spacious and perfect for filming as we were able to do the long shots necessary both inside and out the house. Another factor that led us to choosing Alexia's house is that it contained all the props we needed, e.g. a crib for Grace. The colours surrounding Grace's crib also worked with her character, the pale white colour of the crib and warm creams on the wall, the colour white connotes innocence which acted as a juxtaposition with Alexia's dark character and black clothing.
