Final Sequence: Dark Summer

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

LOCATION:

When brainstorming possible locations for our shoot, we decided to shoot our opening sequence at my house. We have decided on the main rooms which we will film in and here are some photos from our location:





















The sole location is in the house and we will be mainly filming in the living room, kitchen, by the stairs and in the child's bedroom. We will also have a shot from the garden looking in through the kitchen window to show someone looking into the house. This will add mystery and the feeling of being watched. To make the bedroom seem more childish, we will use the props of teddy bears and a rocking horse within the location to make it more believable that this is in fact a child's bedroom.

We decided to keep the number of rooms in which we will shoot to a minimal so there is not too much going on and so it is not hard for the audience to keep up with. We wanted to keep it simple.

The reason for this choice of location is mainly due to the practicality as it is easily accessible to us and obviously we will not have to pay any money to use this location. Also, as the location is my house, I have knowledge of the surroundings and can suggest where about to shoot and from what angles. We also have permission to shoot and the times needed. Another positive of using this location is the fact that it is close to all of the members in our group minimising the chance of being late to a shoot, which would reduce filming time.

Summary:

MAIN ADVANTAGES 
  • Do not have to pay to rent location
  • Access to all the rooms needed
  • Will not be affected by the weather
