Planning: Location Planning


Establishing Shot

Location : Kettering Police Station

Shot 1 of our Storyboard is an establishing shot showing the exterior of the Police Station.

We felt showing the outside of a real Police Station would be better than trying to create a fake location as it is more of a suitable setting for the first scene.

The location is easily accessible and will be clear to the audience on what our context for the short film is.






Tracking sideways
Location : Outside a Room (Kettering Buccleuch Academy)

Shot 2 of our Storyboard is a Tracking Sideways shot (movement) showing the interior of Kettering Buccleuch Academy (outside the room).

We felt showing the Lawyer walking inside the building rather than outside was better as it gives the shot more of an intense atmosphere (walking towards the door).

The location is easily accessible and the room itself is very dark which will help the audience understand how intense the context of the shot is.



Close Up

Location : Room door (Kettering Buccleuch Academy)

Shot 3 of our Storyboard is a Close Up shot showing the interior of Kettering Buccleuch Academy (the door).

We thought showing the Close Up of the Lawyer's hand opening the door would help the audience understand where the Lawyer is heading to and helping them understand how the scene location is changing.

The location is easily accessible and simple to film.


Shots : Extreme Closeup, Mid Shot, Over the shoulder, Point of view, Reverse shot, Two person shot, Closeup.

Angles : Low Angle, High angle.

Movement : Panning, Tracking in, Tracking out.       

Shots : 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.

Location : Dark room

For the rest of the shots the location will be the dark room, where the conversation will happen. We have chosen the location to be a dark room as we want it to look like a police interview where they have a single table with two chairs and a couple of spotlights. This helps the conversation feel more intense which draws the audience in. The location is easily accessible and simple to film.
