Soul: Location Scouting

The reason we used this room with the dull grey walls and lighting with no soft furniture and surrounding so we could have the sense that Grace is in a dangers place, even though Demi is trying to falsely help her. Also the dull colouring creates a serious tone to the scene representing her isolation from other people and the outside world; being locked in the connected relationship with the Xavour. This location was chosen for our film from being inspired from "Hanna" when she was in the prison after being captured by Merissa. This would mirror that Grace is in a dangers place where it looks like a prison where Demi is trying to help her but in the end all she wants Grace for is to get to the Xavour.

This is where we shot in interrogation room, while looking quite cluttered at the sides of the room however keeping the chair that grace was sitting on very alone in the middle of the room mirroring her feelings. also the very dull grey walls against the hard floor shows a not so welcoming place to be locked into. 

 

this is the place outside the interrogation room where Grace will then flee from the organisations strong hold. also the side of red on the wall is used to show that she is in danger there and must escape with the white wall on the opposite side showing that it may be safe the bargain that Demi is offering, causing Demi and the Xavoirs motives to clash. Further more the stair well imitates the same feel as the interrogation room with the Gray and dull colouring as well as reflecting, shiny surfaces and spiralling down could disorientate the audience.

the room we we're shooting in was inspired from the Film "Hanna" where the protagonist was dragged into this dull interrogation room, as Grace is seen in our film.

We decided to shoot in the media suit because the characters can have a screen each and not only that we will be able to play the footage from the interrogation room at the same time. Also the brightness can be turned up on the mac screens to further embrace the strong contrast of light and darkness on the characters faces and in the background. Not only that it would look more professional instead of having one massive screen in front of Demi and the assistant to watch Grace. This was also inspired by "Hanna" with Merissa being able to communicate with the people at the control room to then further communicate to Hanna. 

For one of the two flash back we decided to shoot it the environment of our own home to represent the vulnerability Grace has, as she is no longer safe from the Xavior, not even in her own home.

We wanted the room to give off a very warm and cosy feel to it while the supernatural events occurred to show Grace being pulled out of her comfort zone, further embracing the fact that no where is safe for her, not even in her own home. Also it is back up for when the Xavior says that the organisation and demi cannot help her, only he can.
