A2 Film studies Location Report - Noah

1. LOCATION REPORT –
‘NOAH’
Daniel Rothery

2. LOCATION 1 – THE GREEN ROOM
The ‘Green Room’ is a facility at Wyke College that is available to students who
study Media and Film. I used this location to film the section where Noah has
been transported into a different dimension by Occupavi. I also used this
location as a quite spot to record the audio for the voice overs.
There were a couple of problems when filming in this location because I felt like I
couldn’t use the whole space because of the lights. This then restricted the
camera angles that I could get leaving me no choice but to only use tilts and
medium shots. If I were to use this location again I would seek help from the
Media Technician and ask for his advice on using the space to full potential.

3. LOCATION 2 – LITTLE SWISS (THE
WOODLAND AREA AT THE HUMBER
BRIDGE)
This location was very accessible and idea for me as it fitted with the
genre of the product. One of the conventions of the fantasy genre is
the use of woodland area to create mystery and the sense of an
unknown mystical location on the audience.
I decided to film in this location to suit and conform to the
conventions of the fantasy genre and to have more of a sense of
verisimilitude.

4. LOCATION 3 – MANOR WAY, ANLABY
(INTERIOR)
This location is the interior or my house. This is for the beginning bit of the short
film where Noah is just leaving the house and at the end of the short film where
he arrives back. This section is perceived by the audience as reality at the
beginning but that perception can be seen to have changed at the end because
Noah finds the wand back at his home and then the film ends.
I also used this location because it was very accessible to use and saved time
finding another location.

5. LOCATION 4 – MANOR WAY ALLEY
WAY
Near my house there is an alley way. This location was ideal for
filming the sequence where Noah finds the wand; it’s out of view
from the majority of the public and the location gives the sense of
mystery the film. I did originally want to film this sequence on a
curb/path in the middle of Hull City Centre but I felt that there would
be a lot of public thoroughfare that would have been problematic
when filming.
