Reece (Photos)

 Here are various location photos that we are planning to use in our opening to a thriller film ('The Mask') and how they will be used as shots in order to show and communicate certain things to the audience.
This is probably going to be one of the first shots in our film, to establish location. Being realistic we are unlikely to be able to film inside the station, so by having a shot of the stations name, this will be easier to show location.

Charing Cross station will be our back up location in-case we cannot us Westminster station.
The London Eye would also signify the change of location in the film and show that the scene is being set around this area.

A shot of the MI5 building will be used if we cannot shoot by the London Eye and Big Ben.
This will be our first choice alleyway to shoot in, located at East Hill, Dartford. When I visited here it was quiet and I believe it is sufficient to shoot our alleyway scene in.
A shot of big ben would be an establishing shot to show the change of location as well as setting the scene.
For the alleyway scene this was the first choice, but when I visited this alleyway it was quite busy and loud, in contrast the alleyway scene we are to shoot will only involve two of our characters and needs to be quiet for clear dialogue. So now this is our backup location for incase we cannot shoot at the other alleyway.
Thames House will be a backup location if we cannot secure Westminster to shoot at.

  1. DO NOT shoot the alleyway in the first picture - it WILL NOT splice in convincingly with the establishing shots of London - you need a city alleyway to make it work

    The second one is far better - you will not have dialogue recorded on the scene anyway so sound isn;t an issue

    well done for getting back ups though
