Today we discussed possible places that our filming could take place. With our chosen film plot being 'post-apocalyptic' based, we felt that it would obviously need to be somewhere desolate to represent the destruction that has been caused. After various bits of brainstorming as a group, we came up with a few possible locations:
Rocky Desolate Wasteland
This location that is very local to us, offers a vast array of things we would need from a location including:
Rocks/boulders: We would use these within our film to represent destroyed,fallen down homes, and other forms of buildings. You could also use it as a reference to the 'fall of society'
Desert Style Terrain: The floor in this area is extremely sandy, often when we think of sand our minds immediately focus on 'deserts' this links in with the feeling of loneliness and alienation; all the effects a survivor of a post-apocalyptic disaster would be feeling.
Woodland Area
Again very local. The advantage of a woodland area is we would be able to show survival much more effectively, yet the disadvantage is, would it be showing post-apocalyptic effects in the right light?
Trees: Of course it's a woodland area, so trees are one of the primary things. We would be able to show the survivors hiding under the trees for shelter after the disaster, and also show how quickly a common resource has been even more vital. One problem we could have with trees though, would they cut off a lot of the light, and make the lighting in our film look shoddy and dark? Picking a space with little far extending trees is definitely something we definitely need to consider.
Mud: This is vital in showing the survivors desperation, by covering their outfits in mud we're showing how dire the situation has become; our desolate wasteland doesn't have this terrain so we wouldn't be able to reproduce the same effects.
Of course, as a group we're going to have to weigh up both sides and consider which location we're going to choose, or whether we can merge them together within our movie to represent different stages of the survivors journey. The only problem will be time, it's going to be extremely hard to fit both locations in within 2 minutes.
Correct timing is vital to the success of our movie.
