To film my opening I had to find an ideal location for my scene and I had two planned out
1. was my uncles barn which was a old barn he is converting into a house
2. was a hill side spot were I live for my sniper shot scene.
The hill scene was needed for my shot with the sniper and this hill side just fitted the scene nicely as it does replicate an out back untouch piece of earth similar to the sort of land you would find in chernobyl.
But as I have mentioned there is a problem
About at the start of March "two weeks prior to me starting filming" the barn that my uncle said i could use for filming was no longer available to use as he decided to start work 2 months early and said i could no longer use the barn
these images below are from 23rd of April
this is the outside of the barn which now is covered in scafolding and has ne windows fitted. At the time when I was going to film there it had old smashed windows which was ideal for the window shot I was going to make
This here was the room that I was going to use which had the broken window and the old styled walls, but now it has new plasterboard, window and is full of building eqiupment. the original scene would have been ideal but it was no longer available
so what I then had to do was find a similar location in a two week period but failed to find a locate nearly identical to do so so I had a re think and changed my script a little from it being an old farm house to an old worn down building which made my search criteria little bit more flexable and I managed to find a similar but more accessable and easyier to get my eqiupment too so i went with a local closed primary school in the holidays which I had access to thanks to friends and the it was an old boardroom/classroom that I used and changed slightly to make it more suitable but it still wasent the best of choices as I had more of an oldish styled building but its what was avalible at short notice and was easy to get my gear, props and cast too so I used it to film my hostage room.
