Location Map -Dubai

•    DUBAI STREETS- the streets of the city is able to create ambiguity towards the main character in which the audience is trying to figure out who it is. It also establishes the setting and the city that the film is taking place in.

•    ALLEYWAY OF LAKES COMPOUND- the alleyway emphasizes the danger and creates an uncomfortable mood because alleyways often connote to danger and illegal activities. They also create a sense of claustrophobia that portrays the characters as ‘trapped’ and reflects that feeling of confinement through to the audience, allowing them to empathise.

•    BROKEN WALLS IN ROOM OF ABANDONED HOUSE IN LAKES- this could imply that something will happen  or had happened that created destruction in the film. It creates a sense of unease and tension due to the chaos it portrays.

•    KEMPINSKI MALL OF THE EMIRATES HOTEL- this is mainly included to portray the lady's (main character) wealth and could also emphasize the two extremes of status shown in the opening sequence. We have the murderer who lingers on the streets, and a wealthy lady who is surrounded by high class status people.

•    INSIDE SKETCHY ROOMS- this also provides an uneasy atmosphere for the audience and creates a sense of mystery and foreshadowing because this kind of sketchy atmosphere implies that something bad will happen.

•    MALL OF THE EMIRATES: this kind of modern atmosphere helps build up the wealthy character of the woman as we can show scenes of her shopping at designer stores and carrying many high end bags which will display her wealth.
