Location Recce shots
The purpose of a location recce is to plan possible places we could film to match our storyboard. This allows decisions to be made like whether props are needed or lighting is needed. We have explored a few places around the college where we could film some scenes for our trailer, we managed to find a few suitable places for different scenes.
The five locations we selected to film our horror trailer were:
-the gates + college entrance
-the sports hall
-the Main hall
-the design technology workshop
-in the woods
-the gates + college entrance
-the sports hall
-the Main hall
-the design technology workshop
-in the woods
gates + Entrance
|
The gate+ entrance will be used for 10 of our trailer shots.
the shots that will be taken here is an establishing shot of Christ the king sixth form, which is the college all the students attended. an introduction shots of good, pure and innocent scarlett roscoe. and shots of The 4 delinquents portraying their delinquent behaviours of kicking dust bins, smoking and suggesting the idea of an attack on a random person. the college gates will also be used to film a shot of the brake in, into the college connoting to another form of delinquent behaviour. AS this location is outdoors, natural lighting will be used as attempting to use extra lighting will not work out well. |
sports hall
The sports hall will be used for 21 of our trailer shots.
This makes it our key location in our horror trailer. Especially as it is the place of the attack on Scarlett Roscoe. and after 5 years, the memories still lay within the sports hall and Scarlett brought the delinquents back to the location so they would reminisce on it before she seeks out her revenge. The sports hall contains: the gym The female toilets which within it, is the female changing room The gym is used to film; leo making out with one of his ex-classmates and where he supposedly forgot his iphone, which is the reason the group broke into the college. The female toilets is used to stuff scarletts head down a toilet; which was part of the groups attack on her. And it's used to show an individual huddled up on toilet seat screaming, connoting that scarlett's approach on s/he. As well as showing the after scene of the same person laying dead on the toilet floor with blood dripping of them. the female changing is used for the brutal attack on scarlett, where the group end up when they retrieved leo's phone and were scarletts revenge begins. As the sports hall is an indoor location, we will be using a lot of extra lighting. |

main hall
|
the main hall will be used for 5 of our trailer shots.
which mainly revolves around the reunion. here we will see individuals listening to a speech. then a small after party of them enjoying each others company chatting, laughing and drinking. As there is a hallway next to the main hall, we will be using it to film a shot of 2 individuals running. This shot expresses the individuals being scared connoting to the action of revenge to have began. As it is an indoor location we will use extra lighting for the shots in the main hall. But not for the one shot using the hallway, as the angle of the shot is a high angle and we won't be able to fit extra lighting into it, so we will be using natural outdoor lightening. |
Design Technology WORKSHOP
The DESIGN TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP will be used for 8 SHOTS of our trailer shots.
this LOCATION REVOLVES AROUND THE TORTURE ASPECT OF OUR TRAILER. IT IS THE PLACE SCARLETT DRAGGED SOME OF HER VICTIMS AND TORTURED THEM BY PLAYING WITH THEIR BODY TO MAKE THEM FEEL THE SAME PAIN SHE FELT 5 YEARS Ago. the DT WORKSHOP CONNOTES TO DANGER AS THERE ARE MANY DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT WITHIN THE ROOM, FROM NAILS, ELECTRONIC SAWS TO CLAMPS AND SHARP OBJECTS. this IS THE PERFECT LOCATION FOR sCARLETT TO USE TO INFLICT PAIN ONTO HER VICTIMS BEFORE KILLING THEM. LEADING TO THE dt workshop is a narrow hall, which we will use for our shot of an individual battling with the locked door, due to anxiety and fear. As this location in indoors we will use some extra lighting. |
|
woods
The woods will be used for 3 SHOTS of our trailer shots.
it revolves around the dumping of scarlet's body after her attack. also on our way to the woods, we will take a shot of lEO LOOKING FOR HIS PHONE, SO IT SIGNIFIES HE IS AWAY FROM THE COLLEGE AND REALISES HE NEEDS TO GO BACK FOR IT. ON ANY ROAD AWAY FROM THE COLLEGE MAKES THE SHOT LOOK MORE REALISTIC. The woods is an outdoor location therefore we will be using natural lighting. |
