Location Research

We have decided that all of the indoor locations should have either a militaristic or industrial feel to them. We have chosen this theme since it should suite the military based narrative well. The closest to this we have found for the performance that we can film in is a series of old farm buildings and grain silos, these should be able to provide sufficient space for the performance.




For the narrative we are planning to use somewhere with space for the necessary props such as the desk as well as somewhere with a relatively dull mise-en-scene. We have decided it will have to be quite run down looking because a modern looking office would detract from the central themes of our video. The mise-en-scene for the interrogation room will be similar to that of the “Office” however it will need to have a fair amount of space. The attention will be centred on the chair in the middle where the prisoner will sit. We have found some locations that may work with our narrative in a barn.



For the film we would clear the desk and include some kind of shelf or cabinet where the documents are filed.



We have decided that the outside location for the band should be somewhere in the open, this will mean that the band will be the centre of attention as well as making the for a more dramatic mise-en-scene than a practice room or garage. The best place we have found for this is an old airfield which is close to our other locations.




We have also considered filming in an open space such as a field, since I live on a farm it will be easy to get permission for locations such as this:




For the scenes where the soldier finds and kills the refugee we have will probably film in some nearby woods. I have one location close by location with a trail through the woods which will be useful for filming.



I will add more pictures when we have them.
