2. Location One
We will be using two locations, the first is Thompsons Passage in
Ramsgate. This is a narrow alleyway, located opposite of
Clarendon House Grammar School. We have selected this
location as, after consulting with our focus group, we believe
that this is appropriate for our idea. At this location, we will be
filming the scene with the running girl – this allows us to show
the camera from different angles and use focus pulls on objects
like lamp posts.
We have chosen this location as we believe it will allow the girl
to run in such a way, that a hermeneutic code is created as to
why the girl is running. It can be made clear that she is running
away from something, and this is highlighted can be highlighted
by using this location.
3. Location Two
The second location we have chosen is a dining room. This will
be at group member, Brittany Grahams house. We have chosen
this location for the eating scene. After consulting with our focus
group, we have decided this will be the best location as it will
contrast well with the outside scene and shows a normal house
environment which adds realism to the movie. This also works
towards the uses and gratifications theory – needs model as it is
playing on the audiences emotions by being realistic, and
something normal to them.
This location is ideal for us, as the availability is good. This
means that we can be more flexible in our filming.
4. Summary
We feel that the two locations contrast each other, and will
appeal to the target audience for our film.
