On Location

As I have explained in previous posts, the location is very important. Before we start to film we need to have a location in mind and we need to see what is achievable in that location.
I decided I would go to the locations we had chosen and to take some photographs so we had some visual reference when sitting around a table planning out our beginning.
The first location was on the Southbank in Waterloo. I liked this location as it has the official looking buildings but also the grimy underpasses. I think with the overpass across the road we can get some really nice high angle shots and we can use the pillars to create the feeling our character is being watched.

The second location is a conference room in the college staff room. We chose this because it is quite for most of the day so we can film for as long as we need. We also have a lot of space in there so we can fit our equipment into the room. Obviously though, we need to change some things around to build an appropriate mise en scene. We are fortunate as the room has black out blinds and dimmer lights. There is also a fan which could help us to build tension.
