We took still photos around where we wanted to film (we would film on location), photographing in the same places we made the sound recordings as well as other locations we thought worked stylistically. We imagined the film having a dull colour scheme with blues and greys, however they stronger blues and yellows in the location worked well. I particularly liked the images of the walls; shooting with a narrow focal length and narrow aperture straight at the wall removed the depth of field, drawing more attention to the texture and arrangement of elements in the image. This is a style we may employ in the film.
These stairs are another possible location at which we may film; the stairs and the surrounding area reflect the urban, uncomfortable environment we wish to set our film in, which makes the protagonist uncomfortable and anxious.
This image conveys fatigue and sadness just from the body language. The deep depth of field shows us the world the protagonist is looking out at, which is a busy cityscape. I would like to perhaps recreate this style of shot but in a better location that is more aesthetically pleasing.
This image I really like and may recreate in the film; it is taken in the same lift where we made our sound recordings. The mirror, often used as a method of showing a character's reflective nature, is behind the character, her back being turned on it. However a different side to her is visible through the glass, showing a different side to her, conveying that the character may be multi-dimensional, and may perhaps shun reflecting on their life for fear of instability or feeling unfulfilled in life. She looks uncomfortable and cold, that is shown also by the cold background of blue and the metallic, uncomfortable texture of the lift. The below image was shot at the train station, another location we plan on using, and used for our sound piece.
