Location

The location for our film will be Oli’s house in central Windsor. The whole of our short film will be shot in this one location. It offers a realistic gritty environment for our robbers to escape to after their burglary.The two story concrete building is currently a messy building site however we plan to tidy out one of the rooms to film in. The house doesn't have any lights so we will use an extension lead and a couple of external lights to light the scene. We also have the opportunity to film from a first floor flat adjacent to the main building. From here we can obtain some nice high angle shots to set the scene as the car enters the scene.

The first floor provides a naturally well lit location. The massive gaping hole at the back of the site which you can see in the picture bellow could be a serious health and safety hazard.

With the location being a working building site its a constantly changing environment. A month or so ago when we first envisioned this location the 1st floor was completely open plan. Now however walls have been constructed meaning there are 3 separate rooms. They all lacked the room to be able to perform the shots we wanted therefore we concluded along with some other factors (health and safety), that downstairs would be the best option.
