Assignment 3 - Location planning

6th Form Common Room - Doha College

The common room is easy to access, offer the appearance of a apartment or small home, and can be used in different lights effectively. This is where most dialogue will be filmed and most film is used

Plain Wall

Plain wall is easy to access and it is a substitute for backgrounds needed in the trailer. It can be filmed at any of the other locations effectively

Plain Sand Area

This photo is a substitute for a generic plain sand area, which in the humid desert climate of Qatar, is easy to access.This will be used for the majority of the fight scenes because of its space and environment, and the lack of people.

Al Khor Ruins

The Al Khor Ruins provides a atmosphere of tension and anxiety because of the abandoned houses and buildings it has. It will be used for the artistic shots that give an idea of the scale of the film and its action. It is not as easy to access, and will likely be used only once during production of the film.

Abandoned House - Dukhan, Qatar

This abandoned house has a really artistic yet depressed look, that will provide shots that will show that downfall of the protagonist and provide deeper meaning to the plot, fulfilling the drama genre's conventions. This house is also not easily accessible, however the artistic and surreal setting makes it worth the trouble. 

Bar - Group Member's House

This photo is a substitute for the bar, that will be inside a member of the group's house. The bar gives a view into the background of the protagonist and shows the serious tone of the film to be associated with alcoholism. Because of this, the scene will be easy to access and take extreme and various shots that are planned.

Sand Dunes - Outskirts of Doha

This photo gives an idea of the activity taking place, Quad biking, which will give us the main point of a crucial shot in the trailer. The sand dunes are not very easy to access and we will likely only spend one day taking shots needed.

Graffiti Wall - Doha

This wall with graffiti offers the first scene of the trailer, and gives an urban and somber tone to start off the trailer, appealing to the drama genre. This is easy top access as it is near to the homes of one of the members in our group.
