Possible Filming Locations

We were extremely critical of how we pictured our filming locations to be, and it was great that we all shared the same vision. One of the things we wanted to try this year, was to try many more adventurous filming locations. From watching other students' movies from last year, one of the things that stood out.. was if the filming was done on College premesis, or somewhere that was well known by the audience, which made it lack authenticity. We have chosen a total of 14 filming locations that we would like to fit into our storyline, which is only 21 seconds of screen time per location! We know this may appear to be an extremely small amount, but we feel if done correctly - it will help keep the audiences attention

Here are the filming locations, taken from our script. Each of the images are the locations as seen from Google Earth. Not only does this help to show where we are filming, it will help when we are wanting to produce the shooting script, as we will obviously try to travel the most efficient distance between scenes.

We will be making another post shortly confirming these locations, and posting actual pictures that we have taken of the locations.

INT. BATHROOM
We are hoping that this will be shot from John Jones' bathroom. One of our previous posts outlined one and anothers houses, and we were able to choose which internal locations (for the first 2 scenes, and final scene), would work the best.



INT. BEDROOM
Again, we are hoping to use the same location as it is the following scene, John Jones' house.



INT. HALLWAY - DAY
Here we are hoping to use Kirsten Barman's house as it has the staircase leading directly to the front door. This will allow shots that we require, not making the entire scenario too complicated.



EXT. STREET
Again, we will be able to use Kirsten's house as we can film both characters exiting through the front door.



INT. CAR
As we are unsure about who is playing the Male protagonist in our film, we have narrowed the choice down to two cars (Obviously depending on which charcter is chosen, due to car insurance).

Although there are scenes where Luke is apparently driving whilst filming himself, we must make it clear that the car will be stationary at all times whilst doing so. We will also be filming the cars exterior to show him driving. We are hoping to do this on a similar road to the shots below (In the Pennines. They have miles upon miles of derelict roads, and we could easily have several different locations in there which appear to be completley different)

EXT. MC'DONALDS
There are many Mc'Donald's resturants within our area. Rather than just choose the closest one, we are hoping to film at Wakefield retail park, as it has a large carpark next to it and infront of it, and is usually rather quiet



EXT. HARBOR
We feel like this is the trickiest filming location of them all. As we live in Barnsley, it would be around a 1 hour 15 minute drive to the nearest port, which is Hull. Three out of the four of our team are able to drive, so getting there should not be a problem. However, if we are able to find a closer location before we film, we may favour that instead. (Also, that water looks rather disgusting)



EXT. COUNTRYSIDE
For this shot, we will hopefully be able to use the same location as the initial interior/exterior car shot. As above, the Pennines are host to many miles of varying landscape, so filming here will not raise any alerts that it is the same location, and not on Belgium :)



INT. CAR


EXT. MOUNTAIN VIEW
Again, the Pennines



EXT. MOUNTAIN ROAD
Again, the Pennines



INT. CAR
Again, a similar location to the previous car shots (Roughly the same place, it would be time efficient to film all of these shots at the same time)



EXT. ROAD
As this scene should reflect a derelict road in the middle of Belgium, we have chosen a straight road - again in the Pennines.



INT. LIVING-ROOM
For this, we are hoping to use Kirsten's house again as it would appear that she has the best layout for the room.
