We plan to film our film opening in the front room of a typical suburban house in South London. We have chosen this because it is a place that we can easily film in as it is inside and therefore not affected by weather.We can easily bring in extra equipment such as lights and tripods if the weather affects the natural lighting. We also chose this location because the audience can easily relate to suburban streets, as well as cities, which are seen as busy and more dangerous than quaint countryside environments. It also fits in well with the convention of crime mysteries taking place in normal houses.
The room we have chosen to film in has large windows and light coloured walls, which will allow us to film in natural light, and make our film opening seem of a higher quality. Despite the use of only one setting, we will use a wide range of camera angles and shot types in order to make sure that our film opening is interesting and engaging, and creates an appropriate mise-en scene for the genre.
