Interior Setting - The Search Scene
Location 1: Create a Location
I have chosen to potential make a location because for this scene, we need a room which there are many filing cabinets like an archive room, however I have found that this is very hard to find is my area. So instead, we could collect equipment and make ourselves a small set, perhaps inside one of our group members houses to film this scene.
Exterior Setting - The Chase Scene
Location 1: Station House Garage
I have chosen this as a potential location because the building looks intimating to the audience, as if it has authority. Also it would look appropriate if the main protagonist was indeed searching for codes inside the building, but we will have the code searching scene in another location and will edit scenes together to make it appear that the two locations are actually one. However the garage is located underneath the building and is not accessible to the public, so we would need permission from the owners or managers of the building to use the garage. But if we were allowed access this would be a ideal location as the garage is dark and has a feeling of isolation. Also there is a vast space underneath the building which would allow for a chase to occur.
I have chosen this as a potential location because this location has hardly any people who are present in this location. This will be easier when filming because when the chase scene is occurring, people wont interfere and block the camera's view of the characters. Also this location features some access stairs which can be used when the chase is in action. Also this location has elements which make it look like a spy thriller film's location. For example there is fencing around the location which makes it look more isolated and more intimidating to the audience. Also there is stairs which are attached to a modern looking building, and many spy thriller films use stairs in there chase scenes. Therefore this would be matching the genre conventions. This location includes a car park as well, which is located on top of the building. We could also take advantage of this for our chase scene to make the whole scene more dramatic and intense, as the car park is high up in the air and would give the audience the idea of being lost. However with this location, there is no cover from heavy rain, so we would have to ensure that we film on days when there is no rain.
Exterior Setting - The Street Scene
Location 1: Market Street & High Street in Altrincham
I have chosen this as a potential location because the previous scenes are flash forwards and this scene is the present day, so in order to separate this two types of scenes I have chosen a completely different type of location. The scene which we want to film, has to be as if someone is watching the protagonist and this location will help these types of shots work well, as there are cars which are parked and brick walls at the side of pathways. However this location does not look like an urban area, which spy thrillers are normally set in, so this wouldn't meet the genre conventions.
Location 2: Altrincham Train Station
I have chosen this as a potential location because this location still looks like it is in an urban area, so it meets the genre conventions. Also there are bridges which cross over the train tracks, and this would be ideal for the shots which we want to film for the present day scene, because we would like this scene to involve someone watching the protagonist and the bridges would help enhance these shots. However with this location there will be many people present, especially at peak times, so if we were to use this as a location, we would have to film at specific times on specific days.
