Filming Locations

 Hello Blog!!

Now that we have a storyline developed, me and my partner need to start looking into filming locations.

To approach this step, I decided to do research. I found this amazing article that provides some tips when looking for filming locations. I learned more about the term 'guerilla film making" which is when filmmakers film in public spaces without getting permission. This strategy can save you and your film team a great deal of money and effort, but it is not without consequences. This might be quite problematic depending on where you reside, since you can have to deal with penalties, fees, or other legal issues for recording without permission. Therefore, obtaining permission is always the first choice when looking at public locations. 

In regards to our project, we are looking for suitable locations that are easy to access, free of charge, and preferably relatively private. We are probably going to film a lot of our scenes on the street as our film is characterized on a couple running from the cops. Another location that we have both agreed on is Indian Trace Shopping Center which is home to the very well known, AMC Weston 8. This shopping center features many pathways and alleyways that are relatively private and can go along with our plot. 

Before we decide on more definite shooting locations, it is imperative that we get our film's outline completely finished. Over the next couple of days we need to work on creating a shot list, a storyboard, and a final script. We have a lot of work to do and I am super excited to finally see some progress in our project.

See you soon!
