R+P Post 15: Our filming location, set design and props

For our test shoot, we are planning to use a range of different rooms in Sian's house as well as Epping Forest which is down the road from her house. The rooms we are going to use are the bedroom, kitchen, hallway and garden. Below are top down plans of the kitchen and bedroom, showing where everything is positioned in the rooms.

We have chosen Sian's house as she has a large kitchen with french doors meaning it will be easy to do the stalker shots. Additionally her house is very close to Epping Forest which is where we plan to film our jogger/red herring sequence. Her street is also fairly quiet which means that the noise of cars will not be too much of an issue.

We will have to dress each set so that it will look exactly like our character would have had it. As our main character is a slight perfectionist and very organised, each room will have a simple but sophisticated vibe. 

We also have quite a few props to include. The main ones being the alarm clock, documents, folders and radio. Here is a copy of the document we plan to use in the test shoot.

Below is a document which summaries the rooms in location 1, the props that we require and how we are going to dress each set.
