Film Locations

Burton Agnes Hall and Gardens.
The Band Stand
I will film the romantic montage in this location. Shots 1,2 & 3.
I really like the setting of this shot because it reflects the genre conventions of a romance film. I have made the lighting very warm meaning it mirrors the character's feelings towards each other in a typical romance film. However, here it is ironic because James' intentions are a little more sinister than the audience would expect. I filmed on a relatively sunny day which gives a warm, happy atmosphere about the location. I want to juxtapose the romantic shots to the sinister shots so that when the audience realise that he is eating her it is more shocking. He takes a mouthful and then we see a shot of her smiling happily.
The Pathway
I will film more of the romantic montage here. Shots 4 & 5. This location is also very romantic because it has a fairy-tale type atmopshere that suggests Mary is living her fantasy. The trees and the gargoyles that surround the two shows that she is trapped and cannot escape what is to come.
The Gardens
I will film more of the romantic montage here. Shots 6,7,8, 9, 36,37,38,39,40 &41.
This location is very romantic and interesting. The flowers are a typical convention of a romantic film so therefore fit the criteria for my film. It is very bright and almost magical, it gives a sense of mystery.
 


The House: Exterior
I will film shot 10 here as Mary and James enter the house. This shot suggests that he is very wealthy and therefore gives him power.
The House: Interior
I will film shots 11,12,13,19,20,21,23,24,26,27,28,30,31,32,33,34,35.
The interior of the house is very antique looking and grungy. I wanted this to reflect how you would imagine the house to look from the inside, but also to reflect his character. It is very dark which suggets that James has something to hide. The candles surround him to show that he is trapped by his own obsession that he himself has created, although he doesn't know it.
The Beach
I will film shots 14,15,16,17,18,22,25,29.
I filmed at the beach just as the sun was setting so that the lighting was very romantic. I wanted to have a shot of the two characters walking into the sunlight to suggest that she will soon meet her end and "walk into the light".
