Of all places we looked into for filming we thought that a general and homely house would be the best to suit the story line and the ideal filming conditions for this type of mysterious scene. Filming in a house would allow us to be relaxed about time and be able to keep continuity.

We got the idea for filming in a generic house from the film Hitman in which the beginning scene sees a man entering his house and being startled by an assassin who wants to talk. The shots involved in this scene were fantastic and ranged from different shades of lighting to different shot angles and distances. If we could copy, or even better, improve the shots used in that scene we could gain some shocking suspense and instant mystery.

To do this we chose a house that closest to the actors and was the most available for the planned time, with all factors considered my house was the best option. The reason for choosing my house was even further enforced by its strong layout which carries on right to a garage outside which had the perfect look for our dialogue.

After deciding this we started to draw up the thumbnails using the shotlist in comparison to the layout of my house and its rooms, fortunately the two fitted well and only a few shots had to be changed to fit the required action. I also made a small plan view of the Kitchen where the fight scene takes place on Microsoft Paint so that we could plan the fight in detail to fit the size and shape of the room.
