Setting

We decided to film the first scene of the victim and the detective in the victims house, this shows the victim looks safe and represents normality and realism as the victim is comfy with her surroundings, rather than her feeling vulnerable somewhere else. 

We have the victim in her house this shows a warm comfy atmosphere. The TV is on she looks safe and relaxed. The high key lighting also shows an element of safety.

The detective and victim are sitting in the lounge, they are comfortable with their surroundings, the detective takes his shoes off, showing a sense of comfort. The layout of the room is set perfectly for the victim and the detective so they can undergo a thorough conversation. Also the furniture matches, showing the victim takes pride in her home, her home looks as if she has good job security and shows her as a working woman rather than someone with little money to their name, who takes no pride in their appearance and has no shame.

The villain is introduced in a secluded place with low key lighting connoting mystery and darkness. Sitting at the a desk with a shrine of the victims photos the lighting in this scene is dim to cover the identity of the villain and for this scene to keep the viewer enticed. It looks as if the villain is in a garage, which is seen to be his office where he works and plans what he is going to do. The setting of the garage signifies the villain is secretive. It is also a place that seems hard to find, the villain feels safe and hidden in his place of work. The garage also creates a tense atmosphere, it makes the audience feel as if they know bad things happen in the garage.
