Preliminary Task

When choosing a location for our preliminary task we wanted a mysterious, long alleyway with a warehouse situated towards the end. This alleyway we wanted to use was perfect and the warehouse fitted our specifications.
This was the view that we wanted the first scene to start with. It straight away gives a high angle shot of the surroundings and familiarises audience with appearance of the alleyway and warehouse . When the character is walking down the alleyway into the warehouse this shot also looks like he is being watched from above adding suspense.


The warehouse itself was very dark and eerie which fitted the story line of our preliminary film and the old bricks and scenery made it very mysterious. The warehouse hadn't been very well looked after and suited a drug deal atmosphere.

The doorway would have to be used for part of our film as the camera will show a character running from the doors out into the alleyway and the look from outside of the rust old warehouse matched the appearance of it inside. So the surroundings of the warehouse were suited to plot as well.


The shattered glass window on the side of the warehouse suggested that the alley way was dangerous and abandoned which fitted perfectly with the rest of the warehouse and the alleyway its self.
