Whilst planning our film we had discussions on the types of setting which our short film should be set. In conclusion we decided with a narrative point of view to have the main setting outside an amusement’s to provide a realist background of where the fate telling machine would be believed to be found so that the story can unfold and the natural perception of fate unravelling is anchored . The idea that an amusements is a place of enjoyment and relative tranquillity enforces the films persona of being unnatural causing confusion as is not a common setting for a horror stalking to take place. The other setting that our film required was a house providing the narrative a place for the main character to return to as a place of safety in his mind but a place of entrapment for the narrative.
Once we came to the decision we had to realize these settings so began scouting for possible locations. The house setting we made use of one of ours as limited by a low budget and time, but we added props to create a sense of realism that our main character could reside there. The nearest amusement as limited by transportation was Felixstowe so we got into contact with the amusements manager to ask permission for using there establishment as our films setting.
