We used Max's house for one of the scenes within the film. His lounge helps show that he has a family or a history of one due to the number of pictures around the room, but as the house is empty apart from Max, it makes you wonder where they are or what happened to them. One of the other locations that we used is Max's bathroom. The reason we used the bathroom is because it is a common preparation area for people getting ready for work and it helps shroud him with enigma as he has a nice house but yet, he stores a pistol in his cabinet.
Bathroom
Max's bathroom was chosen for convenience and because it contains a mirror in which his gun could be hidden and withdrawn from. However, the small size created a problem with setting up the tripod and some shots had to be filmed from within the bath.
Max's garage
The main location was Max’s garage which we used for the interrogation scene of our opening. The room was very dark and was lit by one light which therefore made it chiaroscuro lighting. The fact that it went dark very quickly also added to the effect. The garage was also unsettling and made it seem like a thriller as it was filled with power tools which are possible items which are dangerous and could be used in an interrogation, reinforcing our reason for using the garage.
Office
We also used his dad's office for the match-on-action shots in which Max and Kieran enter the garage
Street
The street outside of Max’s house provided an
ideal location for our car following/chase scene due to the road being straight
and very long. Not a lot of cars come past either as the house is at the end of
the street providing us the ability to film undisturbed.
