THE PITCH- MISE-EN-SCENE (Location and Setting) by Alannah

Location and Setting

For our film we decided to have flash shots of a bank, a blue print and a busy street at the beginning of our title sequence in order to provide the audience with a back story as to what has happened in the film already.
Our location of our filming will be in Angel a few roads from the college. We decided to do this as the college was a central place where we could all meet outside of lessons and on weekends in order to complete any filming which we are unable to do in lessons.

The main story in terms of location is that the main character will run along a busy road and then turn down quieter roads that are more secluded in order to avoid being caught.

We will have a wide shot of the busy street that the main character is running down and then we will zoom in on her to focus the audiences attention.

This is a photograph of the busy street which the character will run down. She will start from the tree and then run towards the camera.

Once the character has reached to where the camera is she will turn down a road with a dead end. This will help add to the storyline of the film as the character would want to prevent anyone chasing her from being able to catch up with her. Therefore the dead end would prevent police cars from being able to continue to follow her.
 Opposite is where the character will decide to turn right. Underneath that picture is what the audience will see once she makes that turn.

In order to add to this atmosphere of trying to escape and avoid being caught, we decided to have our main character run past a CCTV camera as later on this could be used to try to help the authorities find out her identity- this again is helping the audience to understand and connect with the storyline.
In the picture below you can see the camera which is specifically aimed at the street the the main character will run down.


Agent X or Nicolette will then turn down another road called "Hermit Street" Which we will then have the camera zoom into the street sign after or whilst she runs past it.


After that she will run down a ramp and some steps to which she will briefly pause in order to hide behind a brick wall. We will film this and her facial expressions as she does so to again add to this storyline of being chased trying to avoid getting caught.

These photographs show two different angels as to how we will show our character hiding behind this wall.


Our final location where we will film will be outside a door which will be portrayed as the building that the agent will go into, almost like her headquarters or offices. Looking at the door and the surrounding area it be likely to have a spy headquarters behind their, however that's exactly why we choose it because often in action films the places where these headquarters or officers are, often look like normal buildings to the everyday person.
