Location Planning At The Lighthouse theatre

This evening me and my fellow group member Jack walked to The Lighthouse Theatre to extend our planning and theories for our locations. Here me and jack did some additional planning and took both pictures and video. Here is what we got up too.

At The Lighthouse Theatre Me and jack had 6 specific shots in mind. Before meeting for the Lighthouse theatre Jack devised a list of shots which we were going to take picture of.

Starting backstage here is picture of The Lighthouse Theatre’s Backstage Dressing room.

In this backstage location we plan to show a character preparing himself with his suit and notes before he has to go on stage and unveiling the Illuminati secret. We plan to have various shots of the character getting ready to build up some tension before he goes on stage and reveals the big secret.

This is an image of a dressing room backstage of The Lighthouse theatre.

By having the "Authorised Access Only" I want to create a feeling with sense of importance to the audience.

This second picture is taken inside the room.

The Corridor is one of main filming areas as it plays a vital role in our film opening. We plan to get shots of our character leaving the backstage room all prepared up and ready and walking along towards the stage. However we will be using a tracking back shot while doing so and also be doing a voice over while you see our main character in the corridor. The voiceover consists of the opening to the main characters speech. To give you a taster of the tacking back shot we thought it was a good idea to record one while at the Lighthouse Theatre this can be viewed at the bottom of this post with other shots and clips take at the theatre.

This is the picture of the corridor linking the backstage room to the stage.

Next up we have a picture of the Audience Stage View. This is where we plan to record a different part yet still equally important to whole final product. Here we wish to record the build of a audience going into the theatre and waiting for main characters speech. To do this we will be using HD camera provided by Mr Henton which has a certain effect to film a time lapse which should give us the kind of audience build up we intended to have. By recording a live audience at The Lighthouse Theatre we can make our teen horror just that bit more authentic.

This is a picture of the audiences view of the stage.

Next up is an on stage view. This is the view that the person on stage will see when looking at the audience. This view is most effective when its over the shoulder because the camera will act as our main characters eyes and you'll see what the main character would

The next shot is the across stage shot. This is the roughly the same spot that we would be filming from.

This is a short video consisting of video clips and photos that me a jack took while we were at The Lighthouse Theatre.

After doing this I can now see all the pieces coming together and evidentially our final product is becoming even clearer. Slowly things are slotting into place because we now have our main location sorted. To continue with this good progress i think we should continue with our deadline list by doing our casting process however we will need to get together as a group and plan this.
