Finding the right places to film inside the school was a whole other story. I didn’t want to just film in random spots, everything had to match the mood for the scenes of Karma High.
The hallway was easy to choose. It’s usually quiet, the lighting may dim or flicker sometimes, and it already feels kind of strange or a bit eerie when it’s empty. For the bathroom, I needed one with big mirrors and good echo so the scene feels unsettling. I found one where the lights are the most dim, literally perfect. That tiny detail made it way creepier. The classroom was chosen mainly because of the desk layout. I needed Amara’s desk to feel far and isolated from everyone else’s . The locker area was the another key spot, perfect for those close-ups and shady scenes.
Location searching made me realize how much the actual place or area you’re in affects the tone. Half of the horror in the film is literally the school alone.
