Location Recce

Our film will be shot in three main locations: the park in Middleton Cheney, the cafe and Timothy's bedroom. There will be an establishing shot of Timothy walking down a dark street (Church Lane, Middleton Cheney) to show the audience the location this actor is usually found. This scene will be shot at night where there will only be street lamps for the lighting, perhaps other lights if needed. 
The shot in the cafe will start of with an establishing shot so that it is obvious that the two characters are now in a different location and throughout the cafe shot there will be over the shoulder shots so that it feels as though the audiences are more involved. Also it conveys a secretive vibe to the shot as part of the shot is obstructed with a characters shoulder. To reinforce the amount of time spent at this location there will be a wide shot from outside of the cafe as well, this will be a time lapse; showing how time has progressed without using to much of the films time.  The finishing shot of the cafe will be at night and the sky will represent the amount of time spent in there.  The camera will follow Timothy face on, coming out of the cafe. This will reveal a lot of the characters in-emotions and create a sinister feel. 

The shot of the street will be quick, an establishing shot to create a mysterious effect, there will be a sense of horror with the church and grave yard being next to the street as these are seen to be quite scary to some people. The next shot will be a dolly shot following Timothy walking down the street so that the audience gets the concept of him being followed, swell as there being a shot of his feet and face. This street is very small, appearing quite creepy as the church makes it appear even smaller. The light will be limited because there are not many street lamps, this will make Timothy appear to be very sinister and dark.

The shot in the park will be a flashback, the swings will be very significant as in many horrors or thrillers they are seen swinging without any one on them. Also there is a specific high screeching noise that is usually connected to this image of empty swings, creating a creepy and intense feeling. We will recreate this shot, but it will be done during the day so the audience are left guessing on what might happen and we are not wanting this recreation to be scary. The park will be empty, this connotes loneliness and that no one has much care for it. This will confuse the audience when they see two/three children playing in it, implies maybe something dangerous may occur to one of the children as there are no adults 
around. 

The bedroom shot will have dark interior and a dark neutral light which connotes secrecy and dullness. The bedroom will be relatively clean and empty looking which could suggest that timothy may also have weird habits or disorders. This will give the audience an immediate impression of the character of Timothy. It will have low level lighting to further emphasize his lack of emotion.
