Film Opening - Recce Shots of Locations

We are using three different locations in our film opening.

To get the feel of what our 'scenes' will look like we have taken various pictures of the locations we will be filming in, and this is good planning and research for the opening itself, as we can visualise much clearer the way in which it may turn out, and how realistic our ideas actually are. Ie, can we actually manage/attempt to film certain parts on location.

The film will start with our main character sat down at his desk at home - we figured we could use a makeshift sort of office from furniture at home, to make the setting seem more 'real'. We are going to use a relatives office room for these scenes.








 



Our first montage is where we see a scene change, this is going to be filmed outside a local McDonalds restaurant. As we are filming outside of the facility, I don't believe we need any permission as it will be a public walkway we will be actually filming on. We went out and took these pictures of our chosen location a couple of weeks before we start filming.











Our second montage will be at a friends house, (our chosen actor) in her conservatory. We will wait until it is dark and providing the lighting is good enough, the dark light coming through the glass in the conservatory will compliment the sad emotions the girl is going through. It will also be a very close up shot of her top half, so the dark surroundings will a small artificial light will have a very close and personal feel - sort of connoting the inside her head and her feelings.
