Location Recce: Released


Gabriel’s house:

I decided to film in Gabriel’s house for the scenes in my film which show Sofia’s home and also the final scenes of the movie, this is because the kitchen/living room is open plan which makes it easy to film and change angles whilst filming. Furthermore, it is in a convenient area for all of my cast to meet which makes my work more time-efficient and allows me to film more scenes when production starts.


Ashmole Estate:

This will be the derelict area in which Derek goes to after meeting Sofia, it is also where the scenes will be filmed in which we discover Derek actually has an ulterior motive to meeting Sofia and becoming her friend. I think that it is a suitable location as the run down garages either side give the area a desolate and barren ambience which adds to the general mysterious atmosphere that I am attempting to create around my character, Derek. Furthermore, in this area there are building works in the background which creates a more realistic setting, especially as the film is based in south London. As you can see in the picture, the location also has lots of natural light which will make it easier to film and more natural.


London Bridge:

I have selected this as a possible location to film or to use as a background to edit into my film. This is suitable as it is a gloomy/mysterious area and the lights in the background from the buildings stand out, making it seem very modern - it shows that there is another side to South London, other than the one that we see Derek resides in. Yet the pathetic fallacy of the dark/dingy weather correlates to the theme of the film.


Streatham common:

I have decided to use Streatham common as my main location for filming, this is due to the fact that there is lots of natural lighting which will make it easier to film, as well as the fact that there is a lot of space which means I am more likely to find a quieter space to film the scenes for my film.
The park is also ideal as the natural lighting will change throughout different points of the day which means that I will be able to set different moods for specific scenes.

Open/closed ending narratives

Open/closed ending narratives O pen-ended narrative: The Dark Knight Rises (2012) An open-ended film is when a film or show ends with no clue as to what will happen next whereas a closed-ending narrative is when a film or a show ends with no confusion and the audience don't have to question what will happen next. The Dark Knight Rises is an open-ended film, this is due to the fact that it ends with Bane and Talia revealing that there is an armed device due to detonate just before they die. As the film ends like this, it is open for future directors to make a sequel to the film. This is effective because it means that they can make even more profit from a popular film by making sequels. There are also many other advantages such as the fact that it keeps the audience guessing what will happen next and contains an element of surprise as often in open-ended narratives there are plot twists, take The Dark Knight Rises as an example of this as in the end of the film we find

Todorov's narrative structure: The Lord of the rings Todorov's narrative structure is the theory that most stories follow the same narrative structure which consists of five parts: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair and finally a new equilibrium. He proposed that this was to keep the reader intrigued so that they keep reading or watching. In this essay i will be using J.R.R Tolkiens series of books/films 'The Lord of the rings' to analyse how Todorov's narrative structure is presented. EQUILIBRIUM:   During the equilibrium stage of the film we see Bilbo Baggins hand down the main prop in the film which is the 'one ring' to Frodo, that as far as we know is rightfully the creature, Gollum's property as it was stolen from his cave after he stole it from Sauron during the ancient battle for middle earth. After Frodo accepts the ring the wizard Gandalf is  introduces him to the quest that comes with it. This is intriguing to the audien

Single vs multi-camera productions essay

Single vs multi-camera productions essay Sitcoms such as Friends are filmed using multi-camera production in front of a studio audience. This is due to the fact that dialogue between characters is usually quite fast paced and it would be time-consuming to film one character talking then stop and film the next character, whereas by using multiple cameras the director can achieve a fluent conversation between characters, consequently, overall there is an improved level of continuity, multi-camera's also shoot the scenes in a shorter amount of time which is much more enjoyable for the audience as they can watch a continuous/more natural conversation rather than feeling like they are wasting their time by watching each individual shot being filmed by a single camera. Their multi-camera setup is shown below. Furthermore, the use of multi-camera production is effective as it is easier to see different scenes/characters perspectives or dimensions, for example in friends it is eas
