Research & Planning: Locations

We have took some photographs of possible locations where we will film our documentary. We have chose these locations based on the effect it will have on our documentary, e.g. we have chose some locations where it is dark and mysterious which goes with the mystery and thriller behind the subject and we have also chosen locations where there is a lot of natural light, which goes with the topic of the documentary which is illuminati, so lots of light will give the impression of the setting being illuminated.

This location is for one of the interviews that will take place, this location would be very good as there is a lot of high key natural lighting, me and my team discussed that this location would be good for an interview, where the interviewee will be leaning on the wall and looking away from the camera giving a very documentary feel to the interview and suit the subject as it is serious and by looking away into a distance gives the impressions of in-depth thinking.

This location could be used for the opening scene in for my documentary we felt if there wasn't much natural light and it was slightly dark we could use this to our advantage as it would add intensity and atmosphere which matches our topic, illuminati.

We took this as an establishing shot as we may start of the opening to our documentary here, we felt this surrounding was dark and uninviting due to the huge tower blocking out some natural light so when it is mid-day it may be darker adding a gritty, social real effect to our documentary.

This was outside the tower I felt this wall, I could use as one of the possible locations where we could hold an interview we felt that this gritty setting could add a visual effect on our documentary that will give a professional look to my documentary.

We found this server box, where I thought it may be good to sit in front of the box with the box appearing behind him, and the interviewee could have been a technician that is familiarised with the illuminati and find his take on it.

This will be our primary interview room, the drama room is very dark and has surround lighting so we can make the room as dark or as light as we want as we control it, which is extremely crucial to our documentary as our interviews will be serious about this mysterious topic meaning that we can make the room dark and shine a light on the interviewee so only they are in the shot, making them more poignant.

These shots were taken purely for experimental purposes I wanted to test the aperture on the camera as this is a visual effect that can change simple images and videos into professional looking ones.
