For our short film to be effective location & setting is everything. As a group we brain stormed our initial ideas with possible location and settings. These are the final locations and settings we chose with a brief description of why we chose them.
This is the setting for some scenes in our film. We have chosen this house as a main location as it fits in with our genre and story line. the protagonist is a successful business man, and this house and car would suit his life style and pay cheque. The pool in the back garden allows us to shoot the “murder scene”, along with some other shots, for example the day to night shot.
One other location that we need to film at is a restaurant; this is the one we have chosen. The Masala Zone is an Indian restaurant not to far from Ongar, we chose this restaurant as we felt it ha the correct décor inside to fit with the mise en scene of our film. This is the setting for our first of two 360 degree shots.
For the start of our film the protagonist will be swimming, the pool we have chosen to use for this scene is Shenfield high school swimming pool. We chose this pool because of the ease of access and this was the only pool that allowed us to film.
