Third location

Third location: stamford

 

 

 

 

Richard and Felix drove us to and from each location. Because the locations we wanted to use were not all in the same close area we decided to use our own transport, rather than using public transport with all of our filming equipment.

To get a range of high and low shots Richard climbed onto the roof of his car. I think this shot worked well and emphasised the feel of the victim (Harry Preen) being followed or watched. When we were filming this long shot we had to take quite a few things into account. Firstly we had to be careful not to get any members of the public in the frame because this would ruin the continuity and the era we would be trying to set (1950’s). Secondly we had to take quite a lot of safety into account we had to be very careful with the equipment and Richard on top of his car. We did not move the car whilst Richard was filming on top of it.

We were hoping to create a sense of mystery and tension in this scene. This scene would show a long shot of the victim (Harry Preen) walking past the two German Officers (Richard Gledhill and Felix Rouch) we chose to film at St Georges Square in Stamford. We chose this location because it is usually a quiet street, also there are few cars parked in this area so we didn’t have to worry so much about what we could include in the framing. Finally we used this area because there are few shops of signs giving away the modern era this was very useful as we were hoping to create a 1950’s theme throughout our thriller opening.
