For my practical production, I have been looking at several different locations. These locations will be similar to the ones that I will have seen in the similar teaser trailers in which I have looked at as this will mean that I am following the conventions of that type of film more closely.
My first location I have thought about using is a bedroom scene. This will most likely be my own bedroom as this room matches the target market in which I am basing this teaser trailer at. Also, it will be easier to use my room as I know for definite that I can use this location without difficulty and the actors which I have chosen to act in my 30 second teaser trailer will be able to get there without any complications. The only problem with using this as a location is that my room is not very big. However, I could possibly use another room in my house which could be used as a bedroom and therefore I will have more room to put equipment to move around more freely.
This shows my bed where some filming of the female lead character will be shown crying on the bed because of the loss of her boyfriend. I will be taking down the images on the wall during the filming process.
This is a picture of my room from one angle. This shows the contents of what my room looks like, however, you can see what is on the walls.When I film, I will be taking what is on my walls down so it gives the more clean and more aesthetically pleasing look.
The second location which I have thought about using is a cliff side scene as I will need this for when the female character has a flashback of what her and the male character, who happens to be her boyfriend, used to do. I have decided to use this location as this will set the mood for what I need to accomplish and also it will have better photographic opportunities for when I photograph my poster and the magazine cover. However, the only problem with using this is that it can get very windy and therefore the sound might sound distorted which will lead to poor quality filming which is not what I want. To overcome this problem, I will do some sound testing first and then film elements of my teaser trailer there so that I don't have any problems when I am finally filming my practical production.
My final location which I could possibly use is a beach scene. This will be the alternative to my second location just in case the sound doesn't come out well or isn't the sound which I want. The beach could have multiple problems but I'm to overcome these problems I am going to find out what time of the day I can go out and film there without the tide coming into the bit in which I want to film at. Also, I will do some sound testing to make sure that the sound isn't distorted and that it doesn't sound bad.
This looks interesting, you're clearly thinking about the location and how the process of filming will take place. Make sure you're thinking aesthetically and with an eye on conventions though. You say your room is suitable for the target audience but does it match the character? Make sure you use somewhere because it's right... not because it's easy!
