This is the alleyway in which the dream scene was filmed. This features Ezhno running away from a dark figure within his nightmare, the opening sequence of Mirrordream. We decided to film here because from the locations that we were aware of, his was most suitable for the scene we had in mind; convenient location, good lighting and a colourful alleyway to contrast the dark aspects of the dream.
This is a panorama that I took of the area in which we were filming. To the left, where Jakub and Seren are walking, is where Seren's character (Serilda) is seen within Ezhno's dream, asking him if he wishes for them to die. To the right is the alleyway in which we filmed the first section of the dream scene, where Jakub (Ezhno) is running away from an unknown figure in his nightmare.
This is the area where Serilda is seen within Ezhno's dream, in more detail. You don't see this background within the scenes that we filmed but it's the view from the area we were standing and filming in - it's very effective as the murky water and plants behind add to the deserted environment, the effect would be different if it were filmed on a high road, for example. This, and the images above, are all in Broxbourne.
As half of our title sequence is filmed in a high school, we decided to use our college (City and Islington college/sixth form) in those scenes - this is mainly because it was the most convenient location and gave us more time to film, also because we were able to find the right locations within our college that matched the ideas we had for our film; the benches outside for the scene where Ezhno walks up to Serilda, the corridor where Azazel confronted Ezhno and the bathroom where Ezhno walks in and is converted back into his dream, as he looks into the mirror.
