We have chosen to film the opening of our crime drama in the front room of a typical suburban house in South London because it is an indoor location that will not be affected by weather and allows us to easily use equipment like lights and tripods. This location also fits the convention of crime dramas taking place in normal, relatable houses rather than more dangerous cities. The room has large windows and light walls so we can film in natural light to make the opening seem higher quality, and we will use various camera angles and shots to keep it interesting despite only having one setting.

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.
