Finding Locations

In today's lesson we went scouting for locations to be used in our film. We decided on eight final locations.

The Paragon Steps on Walcott St
This is a very steep staircase in a narrow alleyway. We thought it had a very Gothic appearance, with features such as a lamp and hanging ivy.
An alleyway in Hetling Close
We liked the large windows and cobbles that this location has to offer. We need a place to show the contrast between the past and the present, and the modern glass buildings and the traffic in the background would work well if we could cut them out for the "past" shots.
Sydney Gardens Canal
We thought that we could use reflections in the water to provide a nice visual effect.
The Royal Crescent
Although this is the most obvious location in Bath, we thought we could use it as an effective background to the action.
Railway Close tunnel
We thought a dark tunnel could provide a suitably Gothic atmosphere.
The Circus
This location was chosen due to the grand old buildings and the tall trees which will be bare a this time of year.
Laura Place Fountain
We need a shot to show how lost the character is in the modern world. We chose to place her on the fountain as this would show that she is invisible to everyone else by placing her on a busy traffic island.
Southgate Shopping Centre
For the final shot we needed a public place so we chose the new Southgate Centre. Here the male character can appear as one of the crowd.

I think we could have spent more time looking for locations, as many of the locations in the list were added having not been scouted. We also started pre-production, in the form of treatment for the film.
