We have chosen to film the opening of our crime drama in the front room of a typical suburban house in South London. This location was selected because it provides an indoor space unaffected by weather and allows for extra equipment like lights and tripods. The normal house setting also fits the crime drama convention of taking place in relatable, everyday locations and the room has features like large windows and light colors that will help film in natural light for a higher quality opening. Despite only one setting, a variety of camera angles and shots will be used to make the opening interesting and create an appropriate atmosphere for the genre.

1. We have chosen to film our
film opening in the front room
of a typical suburban house in
South London. We have
chosen this because it is a
place that we can easily film
in as it is inside and therefore
not affected by weather, and
we can easily bring in extra
equipment such as lights
tripods. We also chose this
location as the setting
because it fits in well with the
convention of crime dramas
taking place in normal
houses, which the
audience can easily relate to, as well as cities, which are seen as busy
and more dangerous than quaint countryside. This room has large
windows and light coloured walls, which will allow us to film in natural
light, and make our film opening seem higher quality. Despite the use
of only one setting, we will use a wide range of camera angles and
shot types in order to make sure that our film opening is interesting
and engaging, and creates an appropriate mise-en-scene for the
genre.
