When planning my psychological thriller opening, one of the first things I focused on was the setting because it plays a huge role in creating atmosphere and tension. We decided to use a normal, everyday location, such as a house, because it makes the film feel more realistic and relatable to the audience. This is important in psychological thrillers because when something disturbing happens in a familiar environment, it feels more unsettling. To create this realistic scenery we used Santiago's house to create a realistic and personable environment that would be relatable to the audience. Filming areas included Santi's bathroom, bedroom, and living room.
I also thought carefully about how I would present the setting visually. I planned to use low lighting, shadows, and possibly dim or natural light to create a dark and mysterious mood. This helps build suspense and makes the audience feel like something is not quite right. I wanted the setting to almost act like a character itself, adding to the tension without needing too much dialogue. We placed the shadow figure behind Lily to further give the unsettling feeling.
Overall, choosing and planning my setting was important because it helped establish the tone of my film and made sure it followed key conventions of the psychological thriller genre!!
