PHOTOS OF THE LOCATION

 

We went to the location before filming to make sure it was suitable as well as to note down possible shots and parts of the location (interior) we were planning to use.

Entrance

Marble statue

Where the 'opening a door' shot was taken from.

The unavailability of a tripod (from school) resorted in us (unsuccessfully) using other objects to try and steady the camera. 

Where we shot the conversation.

PRELIMINARY TASK

1) THE INITIAL IDEA

As a group we discussed our initial ideas together. We concluded that we would use the conversation in our piece as the part with the most tension. This meant that we would have to pick a dramatic or tense topic to focus on and decided that we would exchange dialogue as well as money which would insinuate a drug deal (this isn't going to be made completely clear). 
The genre, or sub genre would be slightly like a thriller as we want to create suspense and thought it would be good practice for our other coursework task. This is when we started to think about characterization and setting.

2) SETTING

We found this particularly hard because we wanted somewhere where we could take varied shots, spend time to perfect filming but at the same time needed somewhere public where people were happy for us to film in. After suggesting different places we decided to film in Norwich Cathedral, as it is spacious, public and there are lots of different shots we could take.
