Locations:
The toilet: where the initial scenes take place, the killer is vigorously washing the blood of to erase evidence from her previous murder of one of her bully, when she hears other students entering the building, which later on she finds out are also her bullies. One interesting thing is, for some horror movies that I've seen, the toilet plays a huge role in some scary scenes (such as in Scream 1996, It 2017, The Shining 1980). The toilet indicates the action of cleaning up something, the taps and water running also emphasize this action.
The hallway: the hallway scenes are filmed when the three students snuck into the school at night to look for their group project report, which is due the next day, and also when the students are running away from the killer. The hallway plays a vital role in notifying the audience that we're in a school environment.
The classroom: this is where most of the intense things happen. Through this, I want to signify many horrible things could happen inside classrooms (bullying), which in my opening scene had led to a murder (another horrible thing *not defending the action of killing for revenge).
Costumes/Makeup:
Vicky:
- Bloody white shirt uniform --> she just killed someone.
- Messy hair and sweats --> she is in a hurry and is stressing out.
Katie, Vivian, Tommy:
- Usual uniform.
All of these factors combined to indicate the environment, the setting of the movie: school.
And the later scenes will be revolve around school issues, conflicts built up until last straw for "the quiet kid".
