Things to consider when choosing a location for film:
- Lighting
- Relevance
- Permission
- Camera Angles
- Easy to access
- Cost (not relevant for the Preliminary Task)
- Conventions
- Space
- Who else will be there? -Any members of the public?
Why have we chosen our location? :
We have chosen the upstairs Pankhurst Meeting Room, just outside the music department, because it is a professional environment, there is a long hallway just outside and the lighting is perfect. In addition to this, the room is large, which gives us the opportunity to use various different camera shots and movements. This room will also be available when we plan to record.
The professional environment is relevant to the task and also makes the video look better.
The long hallway gives us the space we need for a panning shot of someone walking towards the room. The space also means we could have a tracking shot if we choose to.
The perfect lighting means that is wont be too light or dark for a clear image during the filming. Also means that less light editing will be required, as the lighting will not be a problem.
We have also chosen this room because, for the preliminary task, we would like to act out a bank meeting between a female bank manager and a male costumer who is struggling to pay back a loan. We have looked at pictures of official bank meeting rooms and have decided this one is the most similar (and spacious, giving us room to record).
