Designing the Set

Blood Stained Effect

From the beginning we were sure that we just wanted a white tiled room, with a table in the centre and two chairs either side. This would create the plain, creepy look we originally imagined. We also decided to have a swinging lightbulb from the ceiling, which has no lamp shade illuminating the light onto the actors and the set. The reason we decided to do this is because we believed that the single light would create dramatic tension which would enhance the opening sequence. The white tiles were designed to have blood stains on them, creating the impression that the people who have caused this trap are 'not messing around'. However, on the day of the shoot, we used brick walls as they looks more appealing when lit and also used long LED lights from the floor which projected onto the actors faces, making them look even more exhausted than originally planned.
