1. Locations
The location of a film is where the shots are primarily set, more specifically the
initial setting of the film. The location can sometimes be one set place, however
the location in a film usually changes to develop the plot and content of the film.
The location acts as one of the main catalysts for the entire film and therefore it
is vitally important that the location is set perfectly to compliment the theme,
characters and narrative of the film. Without the location and setting, the film
would not be properly developed or explained to the audience.
Recce shots are taken to explore the location of the film prior to filming. They are
taken to critically assess the detail of the set, analysing how the scene will unfold
within the setting of the chosen location. Here are our own recce shots of our
chosen locations:
