Preliminary Task Planning/Research

Locations Planning

I'll be judging the locations of three factors: Hazards, Accessibility and Intrigue.

Hazards is measuring the potential health issues of the area we would film, for example at a train station, falling onto the tracks could be a hazard and getting hit by a train is a threat.

Accessibility is how easy it is to film in/access the location, this will be a big factor, particularly in this task due to time limitations. Public areas will be harder to film in as certain shot types may be harder to pull off.

Intrigue is how cool the location looks, a cool looking setting will entice viewers and make the overall place more interesting.

I'll rank places out of 5 for each category, 5 being top, 1 being lowest

Locations           Hazards          Accessibility          Intrigue 

SCHOOL                1                      4                      1     

ABANDONED          4                      2                      5     
HOTEL                                                                        

HOUSE                  1                      5                      3     

BUS STOP              3                      3                      3     

CAFE                     2                      2                      4     


Ideally a high intrigue will be useful, that is why we have decided to film in an abandoned hotel, although challenging we feel it would create the perfect atmosphere for the scenario we decided upon.
*Time Edit* 
We discovered quickly filming at such a difficult location was not only very hazardous with broken glass and potential asbestos, but it was very difficult to film without lighting within the buildings. Therefore we have decided to film in an area with high accessibility such as a house or at school, which is unfortunate but must be done due to time constraints caused by other commitments such as other exams etc.
* We have decided to use a mix of two locations to fulfil our criteria and keep the task interesting. We will be filming at both school and home, which will use encourage us to use cross-cutting techniques will editing.
