Location

We filmed our production in and outside of Alexia's house.  To start with, the filming took place outside on the road and by a river.  We wanted to incorporate a river into the production as it adds to the sense of equilibrium before the disruption occurs.  

The majority of filming however took place inside the house including the kitchen and bedrooms.  We chose this location because it is convenient, cheap and also fits well with our plot. The road had a hedge running along the side so we used this to almost mask the character.  In the interior, we used the kitchen, living room and bedrooms mainly. The kitchen had a large window which we were able to use to our advantage when we shot Alexia's character looking through from outside.  The lighting when we filmed in this location was low key high contrast lighting which creates a sense of mystery. 

When we shot in the living room, the lighting was very low key which created the idea of night time and darkness. The bedroom walls upstairs were cream white which connotes the purity and innocence of the family before the child is taken.
