Locations for Captive

Locations are a very important part of filmmaking as it complements the characters situation and mood. As a group we have picked three main locations which we will be filming at that will featured in the opening scene of 'Captive'. These locations are a carpark in London, heron tower and black park.

Carpark: We will be use this location in the first scene. This scene is important as it will set the atmosphere for the audience. This location is used when the agent leaves Heron tower to go to his car so he can get home. However, the agent gets kidnapped whilst walking in the parking lot and therefore the carpark gives a sense of isolation and darkness.

Heron Tower: This is where salesforce tower and various other businesses have their offices. This location is in the heart of London and therefore provides an upper class and wealthy feel. In our opening scene, this will be the hub of the agents who are trying to track down the kidnapped agent. Heron tower will give the feel of an MI6 type building and therefore the audience can understand that easier through the look of the location. 

Black Park: In contrast with Heron tower, Black Park which is located in Slough, will be used as the location where the kidnappers isolate the kidnapped agent in order to they eventually leave him for dead. We chose this particular location as it has a sense of slight hope as it has lots of signs of life. But at the same time, it evokes isolation and looks slightly abandoned. Also, logistically this location works very well as it is only a 2 minute drive from a group members house. Black Park has a good reputation for being featured in films such as Star Wars.
