R+P Post 26: Set design, location and props

For our location shoot we decided to film in Shoreditch. We felt that this was a very colourful and vibrant area that would provide many opportunities for great shoots. The large array of graffiti gave us a lot of choice and helped reflect the urban culture within London. This is also a very familiar area for those that live in London, so would make the video appear more personable and realistic to members of our TA. Below I have included some images that I took around the area during our "rekkie" tour of the area...

We decided to have very limited props on our studio shoot s we felt that the minimalist feel was very effective. Rather than concentrating on props, we decided to concentrate on our lighting. We thought that using a large variety of colours would help us to build atmosphere within our video and connote different emotions. For example, we will be using red and blue lights in order to represent police sirens. The colour red can also connote anger and even represent blood, highlighting the large amount of emotions that we may be able to convey.
