In my news report scene I will be

using the Rednock TV studio as
location. This is because its set up
really similar to that of a real news
studio. The layout/design of the set
was altered when I was filming to
have a blank white wall behind the
desk with the lamp on the left hand
side of the shot. I chose not to use
black curtain in the back because
colour black has negative
connotations, like death or evil.
The news reporter in my
production is meant to stay neutral
and that is why I used the plain background.

For the robbers lair scene I used a garage with a large
empty stone wall. Despite the fact a darts board is visible in the image this will
be removed prior to filming. I chose this location because the apparent lack of
cleanliness in the garage contrasts with the large amount of preparation going
into this crime. There will be a larger number of posters when I film.
Update/Review 1
After the first 2 sessions of filming I quickly realised that my one of my locations
wasnt right at all and the other had not had the mise-en-scene thoroughly
thought through. When I reviewed the footage from the TV studio I knew that it
did not look realistic enough to act as a live broadcasting newsroom. On top of
this, my thiefs preparation board looked underdeveloped. As a result of these
two problems I have decided to take the following action:
Re-film both scenes.
Enhance the mood board by adding further elements.
Focus on the finer details of the board when filming to give the audience an
insight into the robbers mind.
Film the news report scene as if it were live.
Update/Review 2
As a result of my first review I have re-filmed more of my mood
board and added extra elements like a map. I have also filmed
these and added them to my opening. In the coming days I plan to
film my news report scene.
