Technical planning - Locations

Locations

This is a table we had for our locations planning, within the table it says where we will be filming, when we would be filming in this area, whether or not we needed permission to film there and what we have to do to the area to make it appropriate for our genre. Once again there was not a lot of locations needed as our title sequence is only around 2 minuets long.

We did at first, plan to film a wedding scene within the colleges dance theater and then have the killing during the wedding ceremony, however this idea was altered after a decision by our choice as a group because it seemed a bit over the top and would have affected the story line to much. It also was changed because we need a lot more actors and more set dressing to do it but it was risky with the time we had to film and it meant we had to rely on a lot of people.

Here are some images of the locations we used in our filming;

The Sixth Form toilets

Here in the sixth form toilets is where we shot both the groom and the bride getting ready for the wedding ceremony. We chose to shoot here because it had a lot of blank walls so the room looked more like a dressing room and because of the mirror as well because it enabled us to get a over the shoulder shot of both charters getting ready.

Sixth Form corridor

We chose to shoot the death scene of the bride within this corridor, this is because it was a where we could have the killer jump out and kill the bride whilst the brides sister, was able to get out the shot without the clip being to long and it worked very well because it was a unexpected killing. The same corridor was also used in the shot where you see the bride dead on the floor and the killer walks away.

Sixth Form roof

Here on the roof is where we shot the scene of the sister talking to the killer and also where we first see the ghost of the bride appear and begin the haunting of the killer and the sister. We chose to use the roof because it was a isolated area which was quiet and mysterious, and it was effective because this is when you find out the truth about who the killer was and the real plan behind the killing.

Diamond road

Here is where we see the killer and the sister taking a walk down the road, whilst unknowingly being haunted by the dead bride. We chose use this location because it was a long pathway where we could capture a shot of the ghost following the couple as they walked down the road.
