Location Planning

As my partner and I are doing a trailer based on the 'ACTION' genre, it was especially important to us that we got a large variety of locations, as from our research this was a convention of this genre.

One of the first initial places we decided to film was at a car park at East Croydon. Our reasoning behind this location is that it is eerie and creates a sense of danger, just like some of the locations chosen in the film 'Taken'. This chosen location allowed us to record one of our best shots whereby, we see the protagonist say the most significant line "It's not what, its who".

Another chosen location was in the same located place as the previous. We felt that this location gave the impression of someone who wanted to stay desperately hidden, this dire setting, from previous research into other action films, showed that this is the sort of place characters go to when they are on the run. This location is where we see the protagonist who plays the character of 'Alex'.
