Gone Girl – Set/Location

This was the living room, where the mum is shown. We used this to convey the feeling of a warm and family like house.

This location was chosen because it was on a quiet road where we could shoot with out distractions and very little trafic. It also shows houses which helps convey the young girl is on her way home.

We used a garage to show where the young girl would be kept, this is due to the dark lighting that can be created, however there are also bright white lights, which gives of a very eery feeling and the sensation of hopelessness, this creates a unsettiling fear for the audience.
