Location Research:

For my location I have chosen to pick an everyday setting which a young girl would be likely to walk through on her way home for example.
Because I'm choosing to film when it is dark to fit the setting of my film I needed to consider if the video even came out when I record and that the lighting isn't too poor reducing the quality. Because of this I looked at areas that was well lit with street lights and found that it still wasn't bright enough. So, I went to a road that is next to a football training pitch which had the flood lights to light up the pitch. Because the road is on the other side of the pitch it will allow me to use the lights without me getting the football pitch in the recording, so the audience will be unaware of this.
So in the picture to the right it shows the flood lights that I will be using, the audience will be able to still see that it is dark/ late evening time because the sky is still dark grey and over all the atmosphere is still gloomy and dull.

In this picture to the left is an example of the lighting without the flood lights in the shot. I think the lighting looks natural, it looks like the light is coming from the lamp posts/ street lights which is good and the effect I wanted to achieve.
The only problem I will have with this is that the majority of all my film opening will have to be on this one street, because of this I will need to think about ways I can change it up to avoid repeating myself as well as making it boring and predictable for the audience, especially if I am trying to create enigma towards the end of the opening which is stereo typically shown in horror films.
