Location Scouting

 LOCATION

We chose the hub for our main location as it doesn't directly show that it is set in a college. 

The hub is the school's performing arts studio and we will be using it to shoot our film in as it has all the resources such as space, lighting and vertigo areas to shoot from. Also the setting of the Hub doesn't appear to be from a college which makes it seem it's outside of college which brings a different atmosphere to the film.




We have made use of the large doors in the Hub for our antagonists and protagonists to enter and exit the film from. I think these doors are a great decision to use as they are very spacious and once opened you have enough room to acknowledge the scenery behind the door as well as the character coming through.




This shot from inside the Hub illustrates why we have chosen this area of the college to shoot. We needed a large curtain for a dramatic character reveal and the curtain is provided. Also the vast accessibility to lighting makes the Hub excellent as we need an intense light at some point in the scene to create a dramatic atmosphere. Also the stands higher up create a fantastic opportunity to implement high angle/eye line match shots with dialogue. We wanted this to create a sense of a character hierarchy and to tell who the protagonists is and who the antagonist are.




This will be the area that starts the film with an establishing shot. This part of the Hub is vital to the film as in the short sequence this area is used to shoot we will be introducing the protagonist and the scenery in one shot to give context to the film. In addition, the staircase behind the door could be used as a dramatic entrance for the main character to enter which give the audience a chance to fully embrace him from his body language, facial expression and costume.
