Task 2 - Location Recces

Where am I filming? Main setting/pig farm: I am mainly filming in an abandoned pig farm in little/great melton. The pig farm has been abandoned from 2000s. I spoke to people who live near the farm and there used to be signs from 2000s saying trespassers will be fined, there where no signs when we to visit this sight and the fencing had fallen down. The pig farm become dangerous when a bad animal disease broke out. I like the setting of the farm, we walked through every building and it was dark and it was overgrown. The ceiling was caving in, we had to be careful whilst moving into the different spaces.  I also liked the location of the pig farm, it was on the side of a small road, we passed no cars on our bikes on our way to the farm on the littler road. There was no car sounds when I did  a sound check, the noises where from either nature or from the people I was with. I had several images and videos, that I decided to make a video and have a soundtrack over the top to play with sound

My idea

COURSEWORK PLAN  GENRE: Horror DIRECTOR: Maddison Brooks DURATION: 2 minutes STYLE: Contemporary March:  My idea is to challenge the conventions of a horror film. I want to have a older, strong male as a victim and use a young, pretty female as my 'predator' and use a public place. I want to use a public place as most horror films happen in a rural area or during the quiet time of day. I will film in the dark. There's a brilliant alleyway near where i live and it has lampposts that are flickering, it looks like the perfect horror film setting. I would also have some action scenes to show my camera skills such as tracking shot.  I would have my actors running and having my female chasing the male actor. I would like to use a weapon, possibly a knife, although carrying a knife in public can have some safety problems and legal problems. Depending of covid rules, I will use my back garden for close up on knives and physical fight scenes because my back garden has a lot of spa
