Our setting- The Attic


This is the attic, where the Abduction will take place. The abducted girl is going to be tied to a chair in this corner of the attic. Everything else will be removed out of the picture so that she is completely isolated and nothing else is distracting. We have chosen to film the abduction in the attic because no one would expect it to be in the highest level of the house because the audience normally expects an abduction to be in a cellar or a shed.
We have also linked it to the film "Paranormal Activity" where at one point the main character finds a half burned photo which means a lot to her up in the attic.

There is also another level from where the photo is being taken where we will film the girl as well, as the height gives us a certain amount of 'power' and 'dominance' which we can very nicely do in a high angle shot to highlight the isolation again as she will be very small compared to the large room.

As the attic is quite dark as there is no natural light coming in, it will let the audience emphasise with the girl even more as darkness always can be a journey into the unknown as you are not able to see very much. Darkness also represents fear.

She will be seated between two of the wooden bars, to have a nice framing which will lead to an even more isolated atmosphere.

She will be sitting on a chair but without the seat cushion which would be too much comfort and not supporting our idea of the girl feeling nothing else than pain, fear and loneliness.

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture but its just supposed to give you a vague idea and it will be replaced with a better photo soon!
