This is the stage previously shown and used in our preliminary task - for our main task we have used it for filming of our montage shots of zombies due to the controllable lighting, dark background and space for prop usage. Additionally we use the stage with the blue curtains drawn as an area for a government speaker to talk about the outbreak of the infection in a sequence that takes place before and after the chase, using a nearby pedestal to speak in the style of an official government announcement.
This is the corridor within our school that will be used in our opening chase sequence. An interior setting gives us control over the lighting and fits with the theme of confinement as stated above. The lights shown in this corridor can be made to seem to flicker through use of light switches at either end of the corridor and through appropriate editing the shots can appear dark and oppressing.
This set of double doors is near the corridor shown above, and due to the lighting (a window is on the other side providing outside light) it is an excellent location which we will use to show the protagonist's confinement as they try to escape the darkness of the institute into the normal world again.
This outdoor location in our school is used in one of our establishing shots featuring stumbling zombies in a dark, dreary environment achieved through editing (unlike shown here). The straight cut between the exterior, dominated by the undead, and the interior with our fleeing protagonist also helps to enhance the idea of isolation and confinement.
