The last location we found at the abandoned rehabilitation center was absolutely perfect! It had all the right necessities for the creepy vibe we were looking for and it completely captured the essence of the film opening. Turns out, however, that it is completely illegal! The thought of this really never crossed our minds due to the open gates, yet we wanted to continue the eerie feelings that building proposed. How would we do this, well simple, we have to convert one of our garages to replicate the picture that we took of the infrastructure. We would use footage of an abandoned warehouse on the outside to set the space and have the audience believe that we're at that actual location. A lot of productions actually do this in fact, they film the outside of locations and set up the actual filming on a stage. An example of this could be Lab Rats the Disney Channel show or the famous Friends.
Doing this will improve our credibility and add more essence to the film opening. It will create the feeling that we all wanted to produce and bring these girls harsh stories to life. Our whole purpose for this opening is to create the most realistic representations as possible, which is why showing the outside of a building will help in representing the stories as clearly. Here are the following examples of T.V shows using the same strategy, where they use the footage of the outside of a location even though they aren't using it.
