Main Task - Locations

For our main task, as a group we decided that for location we should film in Ottery St. Mary, which is a town nearby that has a bridge, alleys and suitable streets for us to film. This was key because they are a core part of our opening sequence, since the protagonist will be walking through the streets and will end up standing at a bridge. 

To scout locations in the town which would be great to spotlight in our opening sequence I took photos that we could look back on when preparing to film. 

These are the locations in Ottery St. Mary, I also took them with the thought they could be potential shots:

This is the bridge where we would film the last shots for the sequence. We could have a pan shot from the water to side of the bridge:

This is an alley where he could walk into frame and walk away from the camera. This shot would be very atmospheric if the lighting was slightly darker:

 

We could have him walking through the church graveyard, this would be an emotional shot to have whilst the overdub narration would be talking about death. 

Whilst he is walking we could have him walk past the river, here we could have some low angles with him walking out of shot. With these different angles I could edit them to flow as they cut to the different shots as they follow him walking.

Here's another angle however this would break the 180 degree rule if we used both shots: 

Here's an alley which could be used however the bright signs ruin the atmosphere of the shot:

To start the sequence we could have a pan down from this lamp post where the protagonist is walking past.
