Film Locations

For our film opening we need three different locations:
1) An interrogation room
2) A street
3) A dark room for the artifact
The street was the first and easiest location to acquire, as we planned to use my road as it is quiet and we went to film early on Saturday morning. The reason for it being in the morning was due to the difficulty of having to use the pavement as a set and so we needed to film early in order to make sure there was little people around. Other members of our group said they would be busy on that day so the earlier the better. Me and Sachin done the filming that day. the morning was a bonus because the weather was sunny. the glaring sun allowed for the scene where he wakes up and looks directly at the sun.

The second location we want to is the assembly hall in school to film the scene where the “artefact” was found. We want to use this because we can make it really dark and pretend it is a cave/underground area of some sort to add to the enigma and because the hall is large it has an effect even though you may not see it in the dark the audience can feel it. We figured that if we were able to acquire some flashlights and have access to the assembly hall we could turn off the lights and film the scene in there. The only problem we see with using this location is that we have to make sure it is not being used by other people due to the fact that we need the entire space. We hoped to film during our Media lesson so fortunately the hall would most likely to be unoccupied.

The final location which would be used as an interrogation room was difficult to think of where to use, at first we had the idea of using one of the school rooms that had a glass window in order to look inside, however this was a problem due to the school hours that we had and our ability to make the footage seem realistic. If this doesn't go to plan then we will use my living room. we had a problem with the lighting coming across and making it unrealistic.
