the inspirations for our locations

|
The Asylum building used in this trailer, gave us the idea of using an abandoned warehouse for our trailer.This is due to the huge amount of space and how grimy and dirty it looks, creating great texture for the scenes we'll be filming in it.
|
The underground tunnel in this movie was what gave us the idea of using tunnel that also had white walls. White being one of our mood board colours, it linked in perfectly with our movies' concept.

Strengths
The strengths of this site is that there's numerous ways of transport to get there so it would be easy to get there from our college. It is also an abandoned site so there is no one staying in it currently.
Weaknesses
The biggest weakness of this site is the fact that it is covered in asbestos. This is extremely dangerous and a huge health hazard, which could affect our health.

Evaluation summary of this site
The site is a pretty good site for the scenes that we'd like to shoot since it is exactly the building we were looking for. However there a few health and safety hazards that we have to be careful of as a team.
The problem that we'd be likely to have is power supply, so we'd have to make sure our camera equipment is fully charged.

Strengths
It is local one of our team members house therefore we know various transport routes we can use to get there. It is also not being used at the moment therefore there is easy access in terms of shooting times.
Weaknesses
The health hazard which is the pipes which we don't know if they are currently being used or active. Also the floor in the tunnel is soaked with water puddles, which could make it slippery.

Evaluation summary of this site
The tunnel is a pretty good location for the scenes we have decided to shoot there, this is because it is a tunnel that is not currently in use. It is also near a local hospital site so if we need any toilet breaks we can make our way to the front where the hospital is located.
The health hazard that could be a problem would be the pipes, because we don't know if the pipes are currently in use.

3.The old police station - New cross
Electricity Supply: We had electricity supply, there was sockets for us to be able to charge our equipment and our phones. There was several located throughout the whole police station.
Food: For food we brought our own packed lunch that we bought before arriving, or some of us went out to buy food while we were taking a break of filming
Lighting: There was plenty of natural light available for us to to use due to the huge windows in the building that had no blinds. So there were any shots that we needed to make with lighting we used natural lighting or just changed the exposure on theh camera we were using for filming. For the shots with less lighting that needed to be dark, we waited a couple hours for the light to dissapear and for the building to get darker since there was no blinds that we could close on the windows to block out the light.
Space: There was a vast amount of space since we didnt plan on just using the interior of the building but also the outside space and the toilets which were situated outside downstairs. There was also 4 cells, two corridors, an interrogation room, and the main open floor space.
Toilets: There was working toilets located outside downstairs available for both females and males that we were able to use.

Strengths
The strengths of this site was that there was numerous different spots whre we could shoot different scenes, plus there was alos writing on the wall which we even decided to use in our trailer. We also had electricity supply and working toilets.
Weaknesses
There was no working heating inside the building so it was extremely cold and felt like we were practically outside. We was really cold while shooting, the cold affected our actress the most because she had to lie on the floor and be dragged several times to get the perfect shot. Secondly we had no control over the amount of lighting that entered the building because there was no blinds on windows so we was not to change and addapt the lighting for all the different shots that we had to film. This causes us to have to wait until it is no longer bright outside to get the shoots with dim lighting.

Evaluation summary of this site
Overall the sight was pretty useful since we were to plan and shoot all our main chosen scenes in it. The site is close to the high street so it is easy acces to shops for purchasing the food we needed while filming. there was plenty of rooms and corridors that we could use to film in so that was also a great plus for the site. The only thing I would say brought down my overall judgement on the site was the lack of heating which menat we were cold 24/7 whilst shooting and taking a break to eat.
