In my news
report scene I will be
using the
Rednock TV studio as
my location.
This is because its set
up is 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 the black curtain in
the back because
the 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 stonewall.
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.
