location

For location we need an elevator to film in that preferably works, so that we can open and close the doors. We don’t need too many other things as the whole opening sequence is filmed in one lift.

 We have done some research into our school grounds and whether there are any lifts in the vicinity which there is. There is one in the dinning hall and one in Hurtwood boarding house. It is just a matter of which one would be best for filming in. We don’t want a lift that has mirrors, as we may accidentally film our reflection which would make the sequence look tacky and unprofessional. We would also need an elevator that has enough room to fit the cast and film crew in and is fairly easy to move around in, as the sequence is packed with action shots that require room.

We will visit both lifts outside of class time to figure out if they are suitable for what our opening sequence needs, and if they fit the genre of our film and would look like realistic lifts used in a university apartment complex.
