Extra Locations:

Completed by: Me

We have chosen to use Ashridge for our out door scene, which has been posted a couple of weeks ago. However, we have now came to a decision of where we are going to be filming the 'house' scene. The storyboard shows that the camera will be facing the opening of a small cottage - which we are going to be using my shed- followed by a shot of the side of the cottage which will slowly zoom into the window. This section of the opening, I will film my shed. Here are some photographs i have taken: 



Front of the shed



Side of the shed (the light is the flash from the camera)

Zoom into the window. The flash on the camera allows the
audience to see whats inside the shed, however, when
i wasn't filming, the windows are initially blacked out.

I feel that this location is a potentially good as it allows the audience to see the full building which is enclosed and isolated. The shed is quite dusty and  dirty which is something we wanted to portray as its a thriller/fantasy themed opening, creating that mysterious, un-welcoming vibe.

In addition, the images below show our decision of where we are going to film the 'indoor the house' scenes. We have chosen to use enclosed area, which we have came across 2 different locations that we feel is appropriate for the storyline.

Changing Rooms - Pros:

• When we examined the surroundings, we found that the location feels isolated which is something we wanted to create.
• Enclosed and dark
• No distraction of posters and images from the school
• Have been given permission from the PE department.
• Easy to access

Changing Rooms - Cons:

•  When Snow White runs out of the room, the audience will only be able to see her feet, meaning the 'Changing Room' sign will not be seen.
• Does not fit into our concept of a wood-like area.
• When filming we will only be able to fit a limited number of people within the location as its quite small.

Car Port - Pros:

• The surroundings are browns, greys and greens which really fit into the fantasy theme and went dark will fit suitably into the thriller theme.
• The car port does look isolated and enclosed from any other areas and particularly fits into the Ashridge (outdoor) location.
• This location has no distractions as its plain and mystical and fits into the location planned in our story board.
• Easy to get to access

Car Port - Cons:

• The car port is quite large meaning we will have to make the location look enclosed and small.
• As we are filming when its becoming dark, it may become cold and damp
• There may be quite a lot equipment, such a ladders, hammers etc, which we will need to move away from filming for health reasons.

Below are photographs of the 'Changing room' location:



Here is an outside image of the location we
will be filming



This is the room/door Snow White will run out
of.

 

Here the room with the light off. The light is coming
from the window above the door which we cant
see in the photo. This will be as if the light is shinning through
the cottage

 

This is a photo of where the camera man will be standing.

 

 

 

When filming, this sign will not be seen

 



Lighting in the room (lights will be off)

 



Below are photographs are the 'Car port' location:

 

WS of the car port, which the character will either stand in the
left or right hand corner of the compositional frame

 

 

Right wall which is wood-like and mysterious.

 

 

Close up of the door

 

 

 

 

MS of the right hand side of the car port which i think the character
sound stand against.

 

We have chosen to use the car port, instead of the changing room as i feel that this location is easy to get to and feels isolated, which is what we wanted to portray.

Final Locations:

• Outside of the house scene - Shed
• Inside of the house scene - Car port
• In the woods - Ashridge
