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.
