There were many suitable locations for our project (images below) and it was hard on deciding which are the best ones but for what we are trying to show in our film opening we decided that the best ones are the forest next to Jenni's house and the other one is the uv light room we assembled in Jenni's house. For the uv light room we covered all the windows with black plastic bags so the sunlight wouldn't penetrate it and ruin the effects of the uv light and the glow-in-the-dark paint.
Here are some photos from all the locations suitable:
At first we knew that one of the locations would be a forest and the perfect choice would have been the Hoia-Baciu forest in Cluj-Napoca, Romania because it has these beautiful shaped trees and it is very interesting as it gives a taste of mystery but there are many legends about this forest. The locals say that is haunted and that people disappear there or strange things happen to them. This forest is the third most haunted forest in the world and we were to scared to go there and that's why we chose the forest next to Jenni's house (I don't know its name) which is also in Cluj-Napoca , the city we live in. As for the second locations we had to debate between a simple room in a house or an abandoned factory on Bulevardul Muncii in Cluj-Napoca. We had multiple choices for factories because on that street there are many abandoned factories and they're very different from each other. In the end we chose a simple room in Jennifer's house because we wanted to use the uv light and it was not possible to do it in a factory as it has big windows everywhere and that's why we set up everything in that room and in the end everything turned out really good.
The locations we chose are good for our target audience as the forest emphasises the couple only and the brown-ish colours worked consistently with the bright colours of the smoke bombs. As for the uv light room it awakens a sense of mystery and coziness. It transmits the feeling of a chaotic "home".
