Narrative - Factory- Initially 'Veronica' is trying to hitchhike
- (Flashback - other scene/location seen in Day 2)
- She then comes across a rundown factory, which appeals to her
- She enters the perimeter, it begins to get more eerie
- After entering, she lays down her coat and sleeps
- Blackout (credits and audio)
- She opens her eyes - in response to the latter audio
How the filming went? and why we chose the location? etc.
For the opening 2 minutes of our film, we thought it would be appropriate to use the rundown factory near Kidlington as one of our filming locations. It is rather appropriate for our film, as it looks dark, scary and eerie, which reflects Veronica's current situation, therefore the location is perfect for informing the viewer of her situation - being chased by organised criminals. Furthermore, in our footage you will see a large piece of debris with spray paint on it saying 'welcome to hell', this was perfect for our film as subsequent to this footage she enters the factory. Moreover, it adds to the eeriness of the film, perhaps foreshadowing something bad which could happen in the film.
Perhaps we wanted to include this factory to show the audience what Veronica would have to put up with; to gain sympathy or even empathy. On the day, the weather was cold, snowy and it was getting slightly dark. This was a great coincidence for us, as the weather did indeed match the dark and mysterious location. This enhances our film, as the mise en scene portrays the mood so clearly (due to weather and background).
We have not included any speech in our opening, which reflects the lack of voice people like 'Veronica' (escorts) have in society. The use of no speech, also helps to convey her loneliness/isolation and matches the empty feeling of the visual setting.
