National Avenue House - Garage
The primary location for my film will be in the garage at my house. This location is great as the garage suits the narrative and conventions well as it is quite dark and dingy and contains many tools which could be used to injure or kill, which is perfect for my mise en scene and of course relates to my character. Also, many films have featured a hostage-type scenes which takes place in a garage/workshop - Reservoir Dogs for example.
I will be using the whole space in this garage for this film, with the chair being placed in the middle, facing the big car door. Having the chair facing that way will enable me to get more depth in my shots, which is what I like my shots to be like. Also, having a good depth in shots increases the cinematic feel and also makes it look more like a professional production.
I will be setting what are known as 'practical' lights up, which means these lights are in the diegesis, for example, spot lights. I will also use light bounces behind the camera to light up my actors enough so that I can edit the light balance in post. This garage is ideal because it has mains electricity installed so that I can use different lighting equipment, or other equipment.
Schedule
I aim to have the whole film shot in no more than four, which I think is a sensible time frame to give myself because the bulk of the film is shot inside the garage with only a couple of shots in another location, which is the tenfoot right outside the garage. Also, this means we won't have to rush the shoot and we have ample time to do numerous takes and hopefully perfect them. Furthermore, I have allowed time to apply the special FX blood etc to the actors, and as I have not used fake blood before, I feel allowing extra time for this is necessary, should anything not go to plan. We will need to rehearse several shots such as the punches and especially the final shot where the protagonist is killed with a hammer because this is potentially a very dangerous shot as it could result in a death, however, this is the worst case scenario and is quite unlikely. This will have to be carefully planned and rehearsed to make sure the hammer is not too near my actor's head and he can move his head as if he has been hit with it. The same goes for the punches although this is far less dangerous.
