A2 Film Studies: Locations

Location 1:Polly's bedroom. This is where Polly sleeps and therefore the setting for her nightmares to begin. Polly lives in 2012 and therefore her bedroom is modern, featuring a television and modern surroundings, this is in stark contrast to her nightmares which depict the same room but in the 70's. When Polly moved in there was a record player in her bedroom which she has kept and becomes a motif for her nightmares to commence.

Here is a photograph of the location I am using for the bedroom scene...

Location 2:
In Polly's nightmare there is a tracking shot/point of view shot going down the street she lives down, this establishes the connection between her house and her nightmares. It is a suburban setting with lots of houses.

Location 3:
Outside of Polly's front door that's opening, this indicates that something happened in Polly's house.

Location 4:A kitchen with a wooden floor showing a sprawled out bloody arm, from earlier on in the film when Polly is moving in we know that this kitchen is hers.

Location 7:
The same bedroom door that Polly walked through in the first shot, however it now has 1970's posters on the door.

Location 8:
A green 1970's bathroom sink, this strengthens the link further that something sinister happened in Polly's house previous to her living there.
