Organisation of Locations

I chose such locations as a bus station for the trailer. The bus station was the location for a main scene in the plot of the film, where our protagonist arrives at her destination to meet a particular person in this location to progress with her revenge plans and therefore the plot of the film. This is the point in which the equilibrium becomes more of the journey now. I looked at different options for the use of a bus station/stop, but I ultimately decided in the end that a bus stop did not have the desired effect and was look quiet and a small location. I wanted to create a large empty space of the bus station to make the character look isolated and lonely in a large world, but ever-determined. The bus station I chose was the one in High Wycombe. Here there are many different buses going to and from different locations, so the boards and the screens would give lots of locations, making it look mainstream and like a large important location. I wanted it to almost have an airport feel to it. I have decided to film at a time in the early hours of the evening, to use the sunset coming through the windows at the station to create an effect of passed time and a long journey and using connotations of orange with danger, hate and like a burning evil as orange can be a lesser version of red. Also, at this time in the evening, there would be lots of different activity at the bus station – creating the large space that could be made to be more confined. This shows the character getting lost within the crowds, and being isolated in a world which doesn't care, it also shows her struggling through the crowds of people and with all of the obstacles in her way.

I’ve also had the idea to use a location of a quiet cafe in the early morning. I want this cafe to look like a diner or greasy spoon and to make it look quite generic and plain, rather than using a big well known chain cafe/coffee shop setting. I also want this location to be quite quiet to create the effect of a private meeting being held in a particular place at a particular time to make it more exclusive and show the importance of no one else hearing the conversation. I also decided to film later in the morning when dawn was breaking to show the effects of time moving and different times and the time it took to move to the location. This idea was later scrapped.

I may also have filmed a few travelling shots to show that this cafe is out of the way and even more private as it is not very direct to a bus stop/station and that it is quite a long walk to arrive there, but our protagonist is determined and nothing gets in her way.
