Film Location Ideas

For our film opening we need three different locations:
An interrogation room
A random street for the main character to be waking up on
And a room for the artefact


The random street was the first and easiest location to acquire, as we simply used east Corydon and it was filmed on a clear Saturday morning.
The reason for it being in the morning was due to the difficulty of having to use the pavement as a set and so we needed to film early in order to secure there was little people around.  

The second location we used was the assembly hall in school to film the scene where the “artefact” was found.
We figured that if we were able to acquire some flashlights and have access to the assembly hall we could turn off the lights and film the scene in there.
The only problem with using this location is that we had to make sure it was not being used by other people due to the fact that we needed the entire space and we needed to have the lights turned off.
Fortunately due to the fact that we were filming during our media lesson the hall was unoccupied so there was no problem.

The final location which would be the interrogation room was difficult to think of where to use, at first we had the idea of using one of the school rooms that had a glass wall in order to look inside, however this proved to be a problem due to the school hours that we had and our ability to make it seem realistic, so in the end we decided to use sachins bedroom one Sunday afternoon and the result turned out to be a success.
