Research 2

My next step was to find locations where I would theoretically shoot the short film at.

Due to being an avid fan; I already understood what some of the words meant.

Locations:

For the shot where Andrew Kaufner is in prison, I looked for ways to create a realistic prison cell. I came across a YouTube video where I am shown how to make one using PVC Pipes. They are generally 8ft tall and about 1/2 inch thick. Using a charcoal black paint, the results look fairly authentic.

Looking for a basement where Andrew Kaufman would kill his victims, I found a place called Murder Mile. They are located near Liverpool Street and are a 'location for hire' studio.

Chamber 3 was ideal for my film.

This is a stainless steel mortuary table which I could picture the character of the murdered stripper lying on in one of the final scenes of the film.

For the scene where Andrew opens a walk in wardrobe, I thought this would be suitable.

Inside would be where Andrew kept all of his trophies.

For the murdered stripper at the end, I would have tried to hire a model from Murder Mile.

She fitted the victim type; the model being blonde and dressing provocatively.


I also need a house for where I can shoot the dinner table scene. I went through locations based in London, looking for locations that were fairly small as Andrew's job was just a Security Guard.
