Location Recce

1. Location Recce
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.
