Planning : Location Recce
Location recce pictures
For our location we initially had a vast amount of complicated sets and locations including hotels and moving cars but we steeled with a simplistic, stylistically specific thriller location setting for our scenes.
Firstly, above I have added a picture of a large white house that we used as the home of John Wayne and we filmed our opening scene inside here. We selected this location for this particular scene as it was easily available to use and also it visually fits the genre well as it has a large mysterious location presence. Also inside the high ceiling design assisted in us taking some interesting cinematic shots as we were not limited by space.
The next picture I have added above is of a small road with a singular pathway to the left. I selected this as we use this location to have an establishing shot of John walking to the crime scene in the opening. As well as this, the area is covered by trees on the side which add shadows to the road lane and furthermore give a variety of mysterious and tense atmosphere building connotations.
Above is a picture of the location we used as our crime scene. This location was selected as the house is small and is good to fit into camera shot and also is in a small village so it has an interesting unique design giving a clear juxtaposition for the detective/killer and the victim as they both live different lifestyles which is made from their characters home setting.
The picture presented above is interesting as it is a photograph of myself on set in costume. The specific aspect I am lighting is the car in the back as this was essential for our location. The car was essential as it shown the high status of the Chief Inspector driving an expensive car and it was the back shot for the shot reverse shot, match on action section we used as the Chief Inspector was leaning on the car further developing the narrative of the scene as it shown a strain that he was learning instead of standing straight as John arrived late to the crime scene. Also the raindrops on the car assisted in our high level of cinematography.
The final picture of the location recce I have presented above is of the Whatley Hall hotel. I have added this picture as it was our first initial idea of set but we were unable to film her due to time complications and therefore made it unable for us to agree terms with the hotel for a filming time to fit our schedule and we therefore developed our ideas further and used the previous locations I have stated.
