Locations

As a group we sat down and spoke about what locations we wanted to use. Our original idea was to use the city as its main location because our film was based on there being two people left on earth and this type of post apocolyptic text needs empty, urban streets to emphasise the sense of desertion.

I went into the city on a weekend to take pictures of places that we could potentially use for our loaction to film. We chose to go to the city first as there is many different places in norwich. Ranging from the old cathedral to new shopping malls. This would allow us to use the sense on time well film in places where the characters could link to the locations.

Bellow is an image taken from the internet followed by all my own images from the shoot -

The problems we have found with wanting to film in a city is the fact there will be lots of other people around. Therefore this may be difficult to shoot what it is we really want without getting other people interrupting. We may use some of these locations for some scenes but for others we began to develop the idea of filming in a different places such as a smaller village or more rural areas. This idea would have worked in the summer as we could have filmed really early in the morning and there would still be broad day light making it look like the middle of the day without all the people being there but this would no longer work as theres not enough light at that time in the morning.
