Mise en Scene PlanningLocation

Location One – Jim O'Neil's WalkWe have chosen this location for the easy access to the river. It also has a lot of trees and bushes which would be effective for establishing shots. The trees exposed tree trunks are good for the bloody hand prints, the large fields around the river gives us a lot of different options If we feel the shots aren’t going well.

The river has a bridge that the first establishing shot can be taken from. The view from the bridge can be made to look mysterious when in the correct lighting.

The river is also a good depth for the floating objects but it’s not too deep or fast flowing so it will be safe to film there.

There is a good area by the bridge that allows for easy access to the river. This makes it easier and safer to film. It leads so a flat part of the river bank that our actor can lay on.

The one down side to this location is that it’s in a residential area with houses visible on one side. This would ruin the eerie, mysterious effect of the situation.

Location Two – Woodville Gardens

The area around the river is a walk way with a lot of trees and bushes. This would allow us to get good

establishing shots and other shots of the scenery. We could also use the grass for the finger marks in the mud.

The river doesn’t have any access points so it will just be used for the scenery shots. It is similar depth and flow to the other river which is important so they look the same.

Location Two – Woodville Gardens

There is two places in the rivers surroundings which could be used for the final shot where the police tape is put up. This is good because if one doesn’t look good we can use the other.
