Location Report: Film Studies

The document is a location report for a film studies portfolio. It describes two potential locations for an action chase scene between protagonists and an antagonist. The first location is an alleyway where the antagonist waits and the protagonist arrives. The second location is an open space connected to the alleyway where the characters run to and have a brief fight scene before the antagonist is apprehended. Both locations aim to enhance the action genre through the use of shots, sounds, and movement of characters through constrained and open spaces.

Film Studies Location Report

As Level Film Studies-Production Planning: A location Report For my As Level Film Studies portfolio I need to make a creative artifact which is a part of my planning. For this part of the portfolio I am told to choose from four different planning materials. From those four I am told to choose one of the planning materials for a creative artifact which is influenced by the textual analysis. The four artifacts are: An animatic story board A series of photographs with notes representing a location report A series of screen tests with notes A shot list with digital photographs to illustrate

From these four I have chosen the second one which is a location report, following a textual analysis of two contemporary Action movies, Skyfall (2012) and Avengers Assemble (2012). In the textual analysis I have explored the representation of the protagonists in both of the movies. I have developed my portfolio by exploring a creative artifact which is based on the ideas of the analysis. I am going to create a two minute artifact which consists of a script from an extract from the movie. The creative artifact will be based on the location report, these scenes are all external as it is a chase scene which is taken outside. I intend to use these locations in my creative artifact.

Film Studies Location Report

My first location is an alleyway which, located in the eastern side of London. For cinematography, I intend to use a mid-shot or long shot where the protagonists and the main antagonist are starting their chase from. The moment the antagonist is shown in the first frame he is leaning next to wall waiting for some, this creates a it gives an impression as to who is antagonist, and it also creates suspense because the audience would want to know why the character is leaning on the wall. It creates tension for the audience as to where the heroes are, and while they are going through their thoughts, a person walks into the alleyway with their hands in their pockets. This tells the audience that they hero has arrived. The sounds which I will use will be obvious non-diegtic sounds which are used in other films to present protagonist entering the movie or a particular scene. It is clear that from my textual analysis that diegetic and non- diegetic sounds play an important part in enhancing the genres, as the genre is Action and there is a lot of sound in chases and fight sequences. The walls on both sides of the scene will play a part in the scene as this will be the way that the antagonists goes from one location to the other. The narrow alleyway will create a sense of congested environment where there is not too much room to move around. Both the characters will be presented in this location as this is the beginning part of the scene.

Film Studies Location Report

Following from my previous location, this open space is connected to the alleyway. This is my second location as this is what comes when you exit the alleyway. This is located directly outside the alleyway. This is the place where the characters run to. The antagonist reaches to this location first and then moments later the protagonist also reaches the bridge. The camera shot that is used to move from one location to the other is a fast cutting shot; this is a quick way to show the other location. There will also be close up shots of the protagonists; this shows their expression towards the antagonist. We as the audience members know how the heroes feel. The camera will be positioned at the end of the alleyway but in a direction where we will be able to see the characters. If it is a close up then the camera person will go towards the specific characters to catch their expressions. The characters will run straight from the alleyway to a greenery part of the road. This is the location where the protagonist Harry will catch the antagonist Victor, and then they will have a small fight sequence which Harry will win. From that Harry will then call the police to come and arrest Victor for his crimes. The fight scene will take place at the end of the bridge next to green scenery. In this location there is more room to move around. In that case it will become much easier for the heroes to catch the villain.
