Locations
1. A member’s house in the Wells (The green
way)
We have decided to use this location of a park in The
Wells, because it is local, and it has a large swing in
which is going to be iconic to our trailer.
The possible risk assesment is going to be the
possibility of someone else using the park/swing.
And we need to be alert to this for our own safety
and theirs. Also we need to watch out for not
disturbing anyone or injuring anyone around the
area during filming. We are going to seek permission
to use this location from the local council through a
formal letter attached to an email.
2. A street near a house
This is a street near a house, although it is most likely
that we are going to go outside the members’ house, if
permission to filmis needed, then we will mail or call the
local councilOR most likely include this in the letter as
stated above.
This location was selected because since we are going to
film the inside scenes of the house first, filming the outside
afterwards would still feel as if it’s a different house. This location is
suitable due to the position of windows, the man (mirror) inside the
car can clearly see the windows.A risk assessment would be to not
break any objects around the area because of the fighting sequence
just outside the house, as well as making sure we are alert to any
traffic on the street.
Description of Technical Codes
(Shot Types/Angles/Movement)
Action that will take place:
1- The shot types we are going to
use in this location: LS, MLS and
a CU. The angles are mostly eye-
leveled. There is going to be one
tracking shot. For the ending,
we are going to also film a LS of
the swing.
2- The shot types we are going to
use in this location: ECU of the
husband’s eyes looking at his
wife and some MS’s of the
fighting sequence and perhaps
an establishing shot of the
house. And there is going to be
a LS of the murderer sitting on
the street sign.
3- The shot types we are going to
use in this location: MCU for the
argument, lots of close-ups for
details such as the ransom note,
and a LS for dad falling to the
floor and the man receiving the
money.

3. Inside a member’s house
For our last main locations that we are going to use, we selected the inside of a
member’s house because it is of a middle class. It is suitable for representing an
everyday family arguing. Since there are scenes where the murder receives the
money from the husband, husband breaking down in sadness, mum putting
lipstick on etc, there are going to be lots of emotions included in the shots that
are going to be shot. It is conventional for this to happen in households in soap
operas, so this location will be iconic to identify the trailer as being a soap
opera trailer. The main risk assessment here will be to take care of their
Property, as damaging someone else’s property may lead to financial issues.
Because we are filming at a member’s house, permission from their guardians
may be needed.
