We chose our location which was my house. The location had plenty of room and unique areas for shots. It was also extremely convenient because it is located right next to school from where we were lending camera equipment and extras in the film can get to the location easily. Once we chose the location we went down to get some potential shots and angles for planned cinematography.

This is a shot of the toilet where at the start of the film our main character is sick. The framing is perfect as it fits the object and the character on screen in full.
This shot shows an alleyway beside the house which gives a great never-ending feel to it to imply mystery in the atmosphere. Also the brick wall provides a grungy texture to our short shot duration clips where characters look at the camera providing tension and strange imagery.
This is a great establishing shot of the setting which will be able to show a large amount of characters adding to the size of the party which needs to be as filled as possible. The steps on the right and the tiers of the garden provides an opportunity to have many positions for characters fitting in a lot on screen to establish characters and location.
This shot can will show the main character walking through the party to provide the film with a passage of time. With more and more actions the characters do the bigger the passage of time. We want the party to feel like its been on for a while before the main character gets murdered.
This low angle shot can give a character power on screen. It also gives greater attention to deatail of the setting.
The tiers on the garden provide a perfect image of the dead body. We picture the group of people looking down on the body and the tiers provide greater height and more room, creating a more dramatic shot.
This is another great establishing shot of the back garden. People could be seen sitting on a table of the decking area and a group could be gathered in front of the door.
