For my film opening I plan on
using locations that are mostly outside so the only weather I need to be
cautious of is rain due to the camera not being water proof. It doesn't matter
if it is windy as I won’t be using the sound but instead putting a sound track
over the top and possibly a bit of narration too. If it does turn out to be
raining when I film I will just bring an umbrella to use to protect the camera.
Due to me using public locations around Wymondham and in Norwich I know that
the places will be available for filming and they are also easily accessible
for me and my cast to get to. The other location I would be using is my friend’s
house which should be easy to use as she is the person that will be in the film
opening. The only problem is that other people obviously live in the same house
and they may get in the way during film making.
Why are these locations so good for what you are trying to achieve?
The city is good to show that
this teen is desperately trying to find her sister by going outside of her home
area to put up posters. It’s a good location due to the various places I’ll be
able to film that both have few and many people about which will work to my advantage. This means there will be
places where I’ll be able to film without having to worry about if people
wander into a shot when I don’t want them too, but I’ll also be able to film
with many people about which will make the scene look more natural and
realistic. I also have a huge variety of places where I will be able to film the
teenage girl wandering about and putting up posters which also illustrates her
desperation in finding her sister.
Using my friend’s house for one
of the locations will help me achieve the feel that this is a normal family
home. My friend’s house is a reasonable size so filming there should be okay
and easy to do as I know the layout of her house. It will also make it easier
to film her actions like getting ready for the morning as she will be in her
own home and feel much more comfortable than if we were to ask to use a strangers house.
Do you have back-ups?
If for some reason I
can't get to the city, or my cast can't then I can film around the area I live
or around Wymondham. I have a bus pass which means I can easily get to places
as long as there is a bus, so transport to these locations won’t be an issue for
me. The main back up location I have is if I’m not allowed to film at my friend’s
house. If her mum says no then I have another friend who lives in Wymondham who
said it would be okay as well as being able to use my house as a last resort.
Can your cast all get there?
Most of my cast have bus passes
like me so getting to the location shouldn't be a problem me or Emily. The
only issue would be if they had expired, but we all have a little money so can
easily afford a bus fair to Norwich and back. The only other possible problem
with getting to the location is the busses not running due to it being the
Christmas holidays. This problem again shouldn't be too bad though as I can
easily look up when the busses will be running and make sure I do filming on
the days they are. My dad also has a car which is one of the props I need to use in my film opening. He would use his car to get to the locations where I need to film him and then we would park it where it was needed and film the scene there.
Are you using interior and/or exterior locations? Why?
I am using both interior and
exterior locations for my film opening. I decided to use interior so I could
show the teenage girl getting ready for the morning and show her preparing to
go out. I chose to use this location so I could show that this is a normal
family home, and that this child going missing is out of the ordinary. I also
decided to use exterior locations so I could easily show that this little girl
had gone missing quite recently to the audience.
