Location, location, location...

    What do you mean we are almost on week 5?! And we are scheduled to film tomorrow!?! These past few weeks have flown by so fast, and I'm so so so excited to start filming! But one of the main parts of filming, is yes, where you are doing it. We have struggled to solidify our locations in the past, but luckily this time we know what we are doing. So today, ill cover just that, everything about where we are filming!

P.S. Not looking too good for the Williem Dafoe cameo, as said in the message, they were supposed to reach out after 4 hours... and here, almost 24 hours later... nothing. :C

Who, what, WHERE:

    We have decided to do what we did for a previous project, film at my teammate Grace's home. An impractical 15-mile drive, but hey, it's worth it! She wonderfully took the time to design her own set from furniture she found around her home, and created this masterpiece:

    It's exactly what I had in mind! A large section for the patient (Alice) to lay on, and a well-fitting small seat for the therapist (Dr. Schultz). This makes it so it seems like Dr. Schultz is more put together and kept, while Alice can be all over the place, hence the larger room. Plus, it looks like a regular therapy office. Although maybe not 100%, we still do have the big window leading to outside in the background, but I have been notified that a swift usage of the binds in the background can cover it up beautifully. 

Lighting:

    As said, the blinds will be able to control the light from that part of the window, so we aren't too worried about that. Except, there is a very wide window above the sliding glass door, which we aren't able to cover up. This will hinder us depending on how sunny it is on the time we are shooting, because we will need to keep a uniform lighting to prevent obvious space in between takes. Theres also a lamp shown in the left half of the image which could be used to frame the therapists face even further, providing her with a feeling of her being on the upper hand, or in charge.

    But that's not all, Grace has not only been our lovely hosts but also has lighting equipment! She said the light isn't too professional, but a light is a light. This will be able to light up the characters faces a tad if we need it and provide different perspectives in how the two main characters are used.
