Draft Edit

Costumes

There was a lot of planning that went into my final costume for my production; I linked this with the target audience and the image I wanted the character to portray, as well as unforeseeable factors such as the weather. I had thought about the costume and first off the image in which I wanted to be constructed around the character. The first idea was to have short, specially designed running shorts, a basic Adidas sports top and trainers. However I was dissuaded from this look as I felt it created a too professional look around the character and the target audience might not find it easier to relate to in the opening sequence and throughout the film. Another factor which resulted in not using this look was the weather at the time of shooting, shooting was done on the 16^th March, and the weather at the time of shooting was cold. This meant that the duration of filming outside would firstly cause uncomfortable conditions for the actor as well as risk of injury for example cramp or seized muscles. The skin tight running leggings combined with the top and the trainers was an outfit which developed on the previous faults of the first outfit of injury caused by weather by providing warmth and protection. This look was again not chosen on the basis of the professional look it created around the character. My idea of the red hoodie over the Adidas running top was to make the runner seem again more casual and relatable by the target audience, however it gave the impression of a negative youth and sparked a ‘hoodie horror’ feeling around my thriller. The vest was again the wrong way to go in that it is definitely not the sort of clothing the character would wear and also sends out mixed messages about the character. The final accepted look of running top, tracksuit bottoms and trainers seemed the obvious choice something that was casual and yet still suitable for the circumstances.  

This was the final look which I have decided to shoot my video in.

Location Scouting

I have a generalised area in which I have chosen to film and within that area there is a various location in which I would like to film in. These sets are public spaces and therefore do not require any permission to film in. I will however be aware that other people will be using the area and will not impede on any of the public. Below is a print screen taken from Google Maps of the area which I will be filming the red circles show the separate location in which I shall be filming I have chosen a general area and chosen sites within that rather than shooting sets across a wider area where the lighting or general feel of the area might be portrayed differently across camera.

Location 1

This location was chosen as I’m filming in the day and is well lit especially around sunset. I also liked the idea of using this location because of its urban setting a pedestrian subway, I feel the square shape can be used well for a long shot down the subway or with close ups throughout. Below are the shots taken from location 1.

These shots show possibly angles or backdrops I’d like to shoot against, I scouted the location at night as it was the only chance prior to filming feel of the area before the shooting would take place.
Location 2

This second location is roughly 100 metres from the first location so there is close proximity for transport and filming as well as keeping a fluency in the footage I will be collecting. I liked this area similar to the first location because of its urban landscape and way I shoot a variety of high angle shots from this location something I was looking for when scouting for locations.

Location 3

The third location was chosen as it gave me the chance to incorporate a bridge over a heavily traffic road, something which I wanted to incorporate because of the lights from the cars adding effect to the backdrop. The bridge I also felt would add an industrial view on my production as the bars and the metal involved in the bridge will be in the video. I also liked the angles in the bridge i felt they could add alot. This area is still under planning weather I will get the same effect so might not use this one.
