Location Spotting

Before deciding on a final location for our filming to take place, my group and I decided a variety of suitable locations that we could use. The image below shows the locations we came up with:

Today my group visited the Barbican Centre, Moorgate and a local graveyard which was featured in an extract from the film Dirty Pretty Things. We looked at different sections of the barbican centre which could be used for quick shots in our teaser trailer and found that the rooms were very symetrical and clinical. This therefore meets the inspiration needs from 'The Shining' where the rooms were clean and props were postioned effectivley in order to create suspense and tension. The images below show possible locations with reasoning for choosing this location.

My group have decided that this location would be best suited to our teaser trailer as it is very easy to collect footage that gives an eery and lonley feel as well as create a modern look. However there are certain parts of the Barbican Centre which may not be best suited to our footage such as the stairways as they are very dark and our camera will not be able to shoot footage that is defined and clear. The graveyard is a location which all 3 members of the group have decided is positioned very well and would need little prop placement as there is large areas of space and gravestones which would be able to create a metaphor for how the characters are feeling.
