Final Location Decisions

After scouting for different locations for each scene we have made some final decisions on what ones would be best for our film opening.

The first scene in our film opening, starts with a woman tied up in a dark dirty room, for this part we chose to use Sophie's garage as has the correct lighting that means it is dark enough to create the correct tense, dramatic atmosphere whilst also having enough light for it to be picked up clearly by the camera. This location is used throughout our film opening as it is the main location where the bulk of the storyline is set to occur such as the fight scene and the struggle with and the cutting of the rope. We also chose to use this location for the small part in which we see the henchmen's feet walking past. We chose this location as it was only needed for a small part in the film and the wall we were are planning to film it against in this location is perfect for the shot and it is plain and simple which means that the henchmen's feet will stand out.

The next location we chose was Sophie's spare room for the scene in which we see grant talking to his henchmen and later on the phone to Agent Wilson. We chose this room as it has dark curtains which means it would make the room dark enough so that when we added light we could create a silhouette, which is what we need for these particular scenes.

For the office scenes we chose Sophie's parents office, we chose this location as it is perfect for the scene and has  an appropriate layout that means we can carry out most of our shots easily without creating any issues or having to move anything of. The office also has a reception like area which leads on through a clear door to a boardroom like setup which will work well when we track our character into the room.






The final location we chose was Sophie's gym, this is for the scene where agent Wilson is boxing and then on the phone. We chose this location as it fits well with our vision for this scene and it is a light room which will create a contrast to the dark rooms such as Sophie's garage which will highlight the different atmosphere in the scene.
