Task Six: Location Shots

These pictures are our chosen location shots. We intend to use all of these in some way within the production and filming of the trailer. They have all been chosen to suit specific needs and images within our trailer.

We intend to use this music studio in such a way that creates the atmosphere and appearance of an interrogation room. However, we are also going to use this studio to record our voice notes and voiceovers for our trailer. The equipment within the rooms also helps with the authenticity of the appearance of the room. The computers and sound equipment really help us when it comes to making our set look realistic. 

We will use this drama studio to film Kronos' lair. We have chosen to use this room because we are able to create a full blackout to connote a sense of evil and suspicion. We want to create a shady area to help assist with the representation of our chosen villain within our trailer. Similarly, within the drama studio, there are stage lights which we can use to improve the artificial lighting on set. In addition to this, we can change the colour of the wash of the light to suit a certain atmosphere that we need to create.

 These stars to a basement will allow us to film the scene where 'Eclipse' is introduced to the audience. We will haver her slowly walk down the stairs wearing high heels to immediately show the audience that we have included a female character.

We intend to use this part of the basement as the main location for filming. This is where the Government Official discusses tactics with his group. Moreover, the naked bricks on the walls give the impression of a 'make-shift' base, thus showing how the group are rebellious force, and have to make do with what they can find.

The main room of the basement will play host to the majority of the clips. This is where the Government Official first introduces the group to 'Eclipse'. Similarly, the boxes that are stored here, give off the impression that the group have just moved in to the base, hence why everything is unorganised.

Overall, we feel that the basement is the ideal place to film. The naked brick walls give a cold, make-shift atmosphere, showing the audience that we are a rebellious group, and do not have the technology or budget of a country's army. Moreover, the boxes in the corners show the disarray that the group have to deal with. It provides a restless setting, showing how the team are always moving from one new base to another. 

We also filmed at a location called Millers Pond in Shirley. We used this location for a brief shot of Reaper and Oracle (Michael and Yassir) meeting up on a walkway. We also used it for the big shot where a helicopter is seen crashing in the field. We thought this was a perfect location as it has such a wide open space and emphasises where the group travelled.

In addition, we filmed in a forest found in Shirley. This once again gave the effect that the group travelled to all sorts of different locations. We used it to seem as though the team were stealthily making their way to an attack. It is seen when Oracle (Yassir) is using the tablet, and when Odin and Oracle (Charlie and Yassir) are running through the woods.

We also went to Spring Park to film several random shots including Reaper being carried away by Hulk (Michael and George) and when Reaper jumps over the barrier in slow motion. We believed this was a good place because there is a small wooded area which worked well in contrast to the heavily wooded are we used in other shots.
