Locations

The inside location that is in the beginning of the trailer where Valerie is alone will be filmed at my house. The walls are plain so they give a simple background that doesn't imply wealth which is important to make the characters and the setting believable to the audience. During filming, we will shut the curtains and cover light so that the shots are dark. This will contrast with the love scenes which will be filmed outside, near a lake, in a brighter light. The different lighting will represent the stages in Valerie's life. We will use a house setting when Valerie is in love too but will make sure the lighting is bright to imply this love.
The trailer of Safe Haven is an example of this idea, starting with night time setting where the female is in a darker place, running away. This then changes in the bright seaside area that her boyfriend is living in.

The outside settings are also used in the scenes where some characters are searching for Valerie. This will give the effect of the great wide outdoors which will cause more tension because the possibility of finding Valerie becomes smaller in a bigger space.
We will also use a brick wall in my garage where we will film Valerie looking lost and isolated.
Some images of the locations can be seen below:
