We had two main ideas of where we should set it. we thought of being in the woods where its quite cold yet the lighting of it would be suitable for our theme too alongside the mise en scenes such as tall tree's and fallen leaves on the floor. A film that reflected this idea was " The Village" (2004). We watched a clip and it inspired as it was creepy and scared us.
Our second idea was to set it at an abandoned train station in edmonton. I was there at the weekend and it was raining; it was quite dark and scary as the only light available was a few lamposts. Trains ran past yet it did not stop. The platforms were deserted and it was quite frightening. There was only a bench which was shadowed by some sort of building. When this was explained in our group discussion we thought of a few things that we could do and objects or things that made us jump.
We then watched a few video's from past students and a particular video caught us. It was a opening which mirrored our idea of being in the woods/forest. The opening illustrated a young girl who was killed yet she's alive. We thought that this was good as it included flashback scene of her being dragged out the bath tub.
Our group had a detailed discussion of both ideas and from seeing the opening scene of the past student we decide to follow that idea. We agreed to using some of the things such as the white dress, bath tub etc. This would come under intertextuality.
