For our opening sequence, we only need one location: a shed in a very secluded place as to give the illusion of isolation. The inside of the shed would have to be big enough to fit the cameras, crew, actors, props and equipment without being large enough to be referred to as a ‘barn’ or ‘stable’.
Hopefully we will be able to find a shed of such a description that isn't overly cluttered or filled with props that won't fit the mise-en-scene of our sequence. Ideally, we'd like a few busted up and 'second-hand' wooden tables, chairs, and shelves. The rest of the props, such as nails, a baseball bat, chainsaw, etc. we can arrange accordingly.
Both of these sheds found by Millie (shown above) look ideal for the type of building we are searching for. Something that is slightly run down, as if it has the impression of being abandoned or neglected, perhaps by a farmer or the like, is the general ‘look’ that we want. Preferably the shed door would be fully functioning though, as at the beginning of the sequence we want our ‘protagonists’ to be breaking a padlock on the door and then entering. However, if we find a location which is simply perfect, our sequence can be adapted slightly.
