Pros
Spacious
Easily accessible
Old-fashioned curtains - Emphasises eerie atmosphere
Red chairs - Red colour signifies blood, death + love.
Blank walls - Gives audience impression that it is within the Man’s mind
Cons
Indented door entrance may be difficult to film some scenes
Blue carpet flooring - Colour not fitting for film’s tone. Carpet doesn’t fit within my initial vision as it is difficult to produce footsteps.
£10.50 p/h
In the end, I decided to set my film in St James’ Church Hall. This is due the easy accessibility of it as well as the setting. The room is spacious which allows me for the split-screen filming and features red chairs in the background which help with the colour theory part of the story. The red chairs can signify the violent aspect of the conscience. Out of the three options, the hall is also the cheapest at £10.50 per hour.
