Location research- Crime scene- Pictures

We found a place to film the main scenes of the opening (Donna's House). However In the second scene the main character (John)  gets a flashback of the days when he still had his job. His flash back is of him carrying out an investigation on a crime scene with his colleague (Jack). We decided that the crime scene should be in an old rough looking area. Also we wanted the place to look semi secluded. The first location we thought of was an area near Chelsea Harbour. We noticed that the area had a very strange look. The windows have been sealed up and many of the building are undergoing renovation. When the construction workers are not on site the area is completely empty and the old fashion building adds to the effect we want. Further more There are many restriction signs and red tape which makes it resemble a crime scene.  In addition, the area is completely safe for us to film the scene. 






The second location we thought of was also around the Chelsea Harbour area. We found a bridge near
 the river and at sun down the area looks very secluded. The sound of the river gives the impression that it is raining. We will set up the crime scene right under the bridge. This idea was influenced by the opening scene of the neo- noir film ''Brick''. 





The third location we visited was an open space near a trainstation in imperial. From the right angle the area looks secluded  and at night time the light from the trainstration gives a good neo noir effect.  There are many trees and plants near by which covers the surrounding buildings thus making it look isolated.








The potential crime scene was on top of a bridge. This bridge is right next to and old factory. Just like the first area we went to the windows were all sealed up which gives it a dodgy look. This area is not far from our school which will make it easier for us to get the actors and the equipment there. Furthermore the fact that it is on top of a bridge with an old factory right next to it will give the audience the intension that it is a dangerous location.
