At first as shown in our animatic, we had a scene in the school library and also in the photocopier room. We ended up getting rid of both of these scenes and locations. Firstly, we took out the school library location as we felt like we didn't need it to be here. We felt like it would be too public for the serial killer. It would be unrealistic as the serial killer would not plan his murders in a public place when anyone could over look him and see what he was doing. We thought it would make people suspicious and would look unrealistic. However, we still wanted to see the serial killer planning the murders but we felt like Gabby's front room where we did film it in that location in the end was more promising, as it had a plain cream wall, with a large wooden table in the middle. We felt like this location was a lot more suitable compared to the library as it was private, the serial killer could do what he wanted without anyone knowing what he was planning. In the end we felt like this location was very effective because of the low lighting and gritty effect which we accomplished, in comparison to the bright, open, public library which would be hard to look effective.
We also took out the photocopier scene. We did film this and was going to put it into our opening thriller. However, when we did put it in to the draft it was far too long, and needed cutting down by at least 30 seconds, and the only way we could do it without making the narrative look unclear was to take out this scene. We felt like the narrative was clear enough without seeing the serial killer photocopying information due to the front room scene where he is searching through books for information and planning on how to kill the victims.
