Location

        Deranged takes place in what is supposed to be a 'normal neighborhood' and a 'normal house.' There's no haunted cemeteries or old churches, which is what makes this film easier to connect with for viewers. Nothing is supposed to be out of the ordinary. As part of the trailers, I want the setting to play a larger role than it normally may. I plan on doing this by shooting various beauty shots of the surrounding parks, lakes, and neighborhood streets. The remainder of the film is meant to take place almost entirely in the home of the Johnson's, apart from a visit to the doctor and maybe the grocery store.
        As for on-location shooting, I plan to film in two homes. Making it easier for the actors and in order to save time and be efficient; I want to film in both my house as well as one of the other actors homes. Through the magic of camera angles and editing, I hope to make these two homes appear as one. As for the doctors office, I plan to film in one of two locations. I will either film a true doctors office where my parents work, or I will set up a room in my house to appear as a doctors office. Both have their positives and negatives however it comes down to accessibility as well as time. While filming in a true doctors office seems to be a better place to grasp the setting the best, it may not be the most ideal. There are rules when it comes to filming in a public space such as a doctors office and people may not want to be involved in the production. Also, there is sometimes certain licenses that are necessary to film in such a place. Either way, I will use all of the resources provided to the best of my ability to truly grasp the emotion I want the setting to give off.
