LOCATION
Initially, in our original Opening title sequence we had decided to film the back story of the possession in our school corridors and school hall. This was because Bailee was meant to be an average school girl who went looking for the school demon which ended up possessing her. We chose the school corridors because at night they look really spooky and dark. They are also really long and have many off corridors which added a bit of mystery into the setting. The school hall was also a decision of ours because it will be perfect for the scene when Bailee is looking through a mirror and Leila appears behind her. This is because the school hall has large mirrors at the back and at the other end is a stage with curtains, which Leila could appear from.
Also, in our first Opening Title Sequence idea we decided to film the exorcism part in an old basement. This was because its a small, confined room
with a low roof. With the house being hundreds of years old this made it perfect for an exorcism as exorcisms aren't a modern thing. It also looked like a typical room for an exorcism to take place.
Since our OTS idea changed, our location changed a little. The basement is sill going to be a location in our opening title sequence, however we're not using it for the exorcism anymore. Instead, we are using the basement for the scenes where Bailee is showing her possessed powers. Also because it is an ancient, sinister basement it will give the impression that something evil or harmful is about to happen building up a horror like atmosphere ready for the exorcism shots.

For the exorcism shots we have decided to use the porch of the old house. This is because it is a confined area of the house that is perfect for an exorcism scene. The objects inside the porch make it more realistic. Also, the lighting within this location is very atmospheric and will cause the audience to feel as if something isn't going to go well. Next to the porch there are stairs which have a stair rail, this makes it easy for the scenes where Bailee uses her possessive powers to push the priest away and a good setting to film the dangling legs shots.
