News Report entrance Time-lapse
We looked at filming our news report at the top of chelmsford high street near shire hall. Unfortunately once we got up there we realised that it was quite an empty part of the city centre compared to other places. We therefore decided not to film here due to it lacking the hustle and bustle of the public we required to have the additional effect on this scene. We did however decided to film our time-lapse here. When we were at the bottom of the high street unfortunately the camera became to much of an attraction and therefore it meant that anyone who walked past would look at the camera.
News Report InterviewAs I said above, the top of the high street is very empty and therefore it did not suit our needs for this specific part of the film. We decided to move to the bottom of the high street where we found it to be a lot busier. Even though this meant we had people looking at the camera in the background it added a realistic effect to it as this always happens when real life public news reports are occuring. Our exact location was on the bridge which connects the bottom of Chelmsford High Street to the bottom of Moulsham Street, Baddow Road and the surrounding areas as seen below.
We considered filming our news report elsewhere in the city such as the train station. We thought this would be a great spot due to all the commuters getting of trains and quickly going fast the camera. This would add the fat that they may be shocked by this new news but unfortunately due to it being within 15 seconds of the bus station there is always buses pulling in and out of the bus stop outside. this meant that it would be very hard to do the news report as there will always be nice pollution coming from the buses. We trie dot film it but our hypothesis of the buses being too loud was correct and therefore decided that we should film at the bottom of the high street.
Living room scene
For our scenes of Melisa watching the news report we needed to use a living room. We compared all three of our living rooms and decided which one was more suitable.
Here is our second potential location. This room lacks the width and therefore means that it would be hard to get the over the shoulder shot. Even though there is a window in the background bringing in lots of light there is also a window just behind the television meaning that it would be very hard to focus on the person while they are watching the television. Due to the reason we decided to go with the top location.
