After encountering many problems at the first location - primarily the weather, I decided to change the site of the project. This came with its own set of difficulties as I needed to find a suitable indoors location quickly and be able to use it more or less straightaway. However, one of my friends who was acting in the film mentioned that he had access to an old barn that he was building his car in. We all went, not sure of what we would find. I liked this location more than the other one, and as we hadn't got much time, we shot then and there. I had to make a few changes to the film but the overall plot remained very much the same.
The lack of light in the barn allowed me to experiment with the exposure levels on the camera which produced interesting effects in the film as you'll see in the pictures.
I think the random objects in the barn added to the feeling of mystery and the fan seen in the bottom right image contributes to the old, rustic appearance of the setting as well as being the only source of natural light in the building, which highlights the characters that are trying to save the girl, while the others are often in shadow.
