Film Preparation, Location/Setting Analysis EA



The Tube:

Fulham Broadway was our ideal location for the transportation sequence because we would like to capture our character against a pale yellow wall for contrast. Moreover we can have shots of her on the tube itself, baring in mind we get permission to do so. Lighting may be a problem in the tube as in one of the shots we can see that it is covered, this means we must prepare to film there. Also we must avoid rush hour because it could cause continuity editing problems and sound problems.

The Streets:

The streets of fulham are good because they are near the house and park which is where most of the film will be taken. We will probably not need lighting if we do it early enough or on a well lit day, the ideal situation would be to have Margot's journey to the tube in the morning. There may be some small issues with this such as continuity edits and overcrowding during rush hour.

The Park:

We are currently moving into winter so we hope to get some shots while the autumn leaves are still up, the park will be the "backdrop" of our dream sequence. The only problems with the park may be sound or lighting, other than this we should be able to film without problems. Continuity editing should not need too much thought here however maybe cars in the background may move, so we should just be careful. 

The Bedroom:

This is the bedroom of margot, throughout this scene we will witness margot's home life, daily routine and her home. We hope to include as much detail as possible in her room so we can help express margot's personality and interests by perhaps showing small parts of the bedroom in detail, the only trouble with the bedroom is it is rather small but we may be able to use that to our advantage, make it seem cosy or perhaps add a claustrophobic feel to maybe foreshadow her mental deterioration later on.

Locations SL, BP, EA





Tube Location - potential issues: people/ lack of permission/ lighting - dark during day in shots here



Issues on tube: lots of people/ lack of continuity/ noise / lack of permissions
Street Location - GP, SL, ES
Not a great location - too large/ too  many continuity issues / sound may be a concern and shots below are dark (4.30pm here)


Front of House - looks good - continuity issues as cars may change therefore must film all together. If night ...... need more lighting perhaps



Park Location - ES
4:00 pm on a sunny day, 
good location, not too crowded.
potential wind noise (check camera settings)
Bedroom Location - 
Potential issues with size however it may suit the feeling of claustrophobia. 
May need more shots of the house to help during the start when margot prepares her self in the morning.
As Margot wakes up, we will focus on small objects such as her pills - more clues to her mental state.
For the bedroom we wanted to have a mirror, as a shot of her reflection will symbolise the duality of her personality. We wanted her to be a curious and creative person nonetheless, and so her chaotic array of books and records tells the viewer something about her character.
