Councillor scene:
For the councillor room, we got inspiration from a few counselling rooms online. We decided the room has to be really bright to contrast with the situation going on inside, as a sort of juxtaposition. The whole atmosphere of the room is quite hard to grasp, and has to be comforting and reassuring.
The props and mise-en-scene is very important in this location, because it can give a very specific meaning and really indicate to the audience where they are and what they are doing from the offset; even without dialogue.
The mise-en-scene for example could be things such as a box of tissues, plants and glasses of water, which are definite signs that the room is being used for counselling, while still having a comforting feeling.
Stalking scene
For the stalking scene we were thinking of choosing a dark and enclosing alleyway. This is because the claustrophobia aspect of it creates even more tension and fear for the audience, because it highlights the element of no escape for the victim. The darkness will get a mysterious element to the scene, highlighting the genre of thriller, and keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat. We were also thinking of using the walls as a prop and sort of weapon, because if the victim is pushed against the wall, then it highlights the dominance power and fear that the stalker has over her, creating another tense element. The lighting in the scene, although primarily dark, we will use street lamps and wall lamps to create an eerie setting.
