Shooting Locations

We now started talking about our Evalution so Tyrell has also brought up our Shooting locations along with Danny of what we have done so far.


"For our title sequence, we as a group have decided long and hard in terms of the variety of different locations in which we are going to shoot our title sequence. Initially, we want to shoot at London's Shard building in order to have an establishing shot for where our Government meeting will be taking place. This proved to be highly effective for out title sequence because it is essentially a very busy place, involving lots of busy people trying to get to their destinations.

For our Illuminati sequence/Evangelist sequence, we decided that we want to shoot these scenes within our school's drama room. This proved to be a very good setting and location for these scenes as the room has many features in terms of lighting that we could mess around with and alter to our likings. We used low-key lighting for the Illuminati scene and we then contrasted using high-key lighting for the Evangelist scene. The drama room essentially provided an essence of eeriness and darkness, which is the route we were looking for for our title sequence.

For the actual government scene, we used our school's main library named the 'iBrary'. This proved to be effective as it had a wide and long table for all of our government/actors to sit on. We also had a projector which displayed the map behind the main government leader.

Finally, for our Scavengers and Rebels scene, we went to Fanny On The Hill park, creating a wooden stick hut and involving our actors climbing upon trees. We then went around the corner to shoot our Rebels scene, which featured a graffiti wall and had a gritty essence around the location, which me and Danny thought was perfect for the theme we were going for for this scene." -Tyrell

Scavengers and Rebels

Tyrell and Dannys Day out

On Thursday 18th February 2016, Tyrell, Danny and I decided to meet to shoot the scenes for our Rebels and Scavengers for our title sequence. Unfortunately, due to miscommunication, I wasn't able to come and film with film with them and also due to my data/ simless phone *sobs*. So, Tyrell and Danny went on their own with some of our actors. They took the same  tri-pod and the two cameras with we used at the shard. We decided to use the location of Fanny on the Hill park in Welling for both of our scenes. I however found this place but not them. Luckily, we managed to get 3 actors to act the parts. In the park near the woods, they managed to build and create a mini-set of survival things such as: shelters made of twigs, an amateur clothing line and an stack of twigs for a fire. They then shot this and took multiple angles and camera shots to achieve the vision we wanted for this Scavengers scene overall.

For the Rebels scene, they went to a back road near the park in Welling. Down this road, after walking they saw a wall covered in graffiti, with the road looking quite desolate. They went supplied with 4 fake guns for our actors to use for the Rebels scene, along with scarfs and bandannas to create an atmosphere of mystery and, to make them look the part for this particular scene. They also experimented with different camera angles and different camera shots to help achieve the visions we had set originally.

Storyboards

We have storyboarded our ideas for our title sequence by hand-drawing each different scenes. We have demonstrated roughly our ideas on the basis of what we kind of want each scene to look like. Although this isn't necessarily the final copy/version of the way our title sequence looks, it is a rough idea as to how we want the finished version of our title sequence to look like.  Amazing drawings down by Tyrell and Danny with my input :D
