Fiction Adaptation Unit: Pre-Production - Locations

For the subconscious I need a dark room with enough space to fit us in and look expansive. I had the studios in mind as they are large and have massive black curtains that I could use as the background so I asked Laura if she knew that they were free and she contacted the studios.

Unfortunately they were being used on the day I wanted to film so I needed a new location: the best I could find was the living room in my house: with the lights off it becomes pitch black and you cannot see anything:




Perfect. 

The issue with the living room is this:




The huge window on one side of the room. This lets a lot of light in during the day meaning I can either cover the window or film the subconscious scenes after 5pm when it gets pretty dark.

I do have a large throw which might cover the window, it's red so it should be dark enough but I may have to wait until it's at least 3:30 when the light begins to go to give me a better chance of a dark room.
