So it looks like we are going to do the inside scenes at my house. In order to prepare the house for shooting, I wanted to alter a few things to make life easier on all of us. First thing is that I removed all personal items and anything that would likely change (jacket on a hook, grape juice on the counter, etc.) By removing these, we would have less difficulty with continuity and confirming that all objects are in the correct location every time we shoot. I also organized the living room to have the major shot of the couch very parallel. With the natural arch in the home, I have a clock in the center of the wall, the couch below it, and a red rug centered on the wall as well. By having this important shot extremely parallel, it will be disturbing to the viewer and it will communicate the unnatural level of control that the MAN wants to have over the family and the home. The arch way symbolizes the structure of the family unit and MANs determination to maintain the unity throughout the story.
