1. Filming in the dance studio
We decided to film in the dance studio as it would create a setting of Gabrielle sitting in the hospital
ward. As the dance studio has flashing lights and curtains that made the whole room look dark as it
was useful to represent a negative atmosphere.
The lights we used were red and white, the use of red is representing that there is an evil atmosphere
around Gabrielle and she is in danger. Whereas the white light is representing the vulnerable and
innocence character as she is lonely and there is no one to save her. Also, making the audience feel
sympathy for the character as the use of the red light makes the audience feel scared for her and
creates an enigma as to what is chasing after.
We had a shot of Gabrielle hiding behind the curtain, this shows that she is scared and hiding away
from something or someone. This also, creates an enigma to ‘why is she hiding?’ and ‘who is she
hiding from?’. Furthermore, a shot of her sitting on a high stool talking to herself and telling someone
or something to go away, to leave her alone. Gabrielle, rocks back and forth as if she is sitting on a
rocking chair, this showed that Gabrielle is abnormal .
Most of the shots we filmed were what a psychopath would do, I got most of the ideas from watching
a movie called ‘The Ward’.
