These two images show the buildings we would want (if making the whole film) to use for the mental institute (top image) and Francis' cottage (bottom image). I want the top building to be the mental institute because it looks old and run down, as though neglected. This gives the place a miserable look. Windows are left broken or half repaired as though they were smashed by patients and the grounds are unkept. It is barred off by a metal gate to show isolation.

Francis Denver's cottage is covered in graffitti and grime. The graffitti on the door says 'DANGER KEEP OUT' which misleads the audience into believing that the inhabitants of this cottage is also dangerous. Just like the institute, this building is unkept and neglected. At first glances, the cottage looks deserted, as though Francis is a ghost. This building is also barred off by a big, metal fence to show isolation.



As shown in the previous test shots, I have chosen to film the mental institute scene inside my unfinished workshop. It is clean and white, just like an institute should be. But it also has elements of danger and neglect as wires are showing where there should be sockets. The floor is dusty and a picture frame lies in the corner, on the floor. I would have liked to use the top image to film the institute scene, but unfortunatly permission was not granted.
