Primary Location Research

In our film trailer we decided that one of the major factors we consider important in a trailer is the locations as you would assume to see some memorable landmarks in a trailer especially if the movie is an action or thriller movie. Conforming to these ideas we largely agreed to film around London as it is local and easy to get too, so in doing this we would incorporate various landmarks into our scenes, so this could include a long shot of the London Eye in a chase scene for example. We primarily thought of the idea of using Paris as another location as we understand that multiple locations are required to setup the individual qualities of the trailer and so we selected Paris as like London it is not too far away and so we would have to take a day trip. The last location we have is Dubai, which Matt and Bill were able to go to due to a familial occasion and so we can incorporate the different culture of Dubai compared to the more western styling of London and Paris and so emphasising the landmarks shown.

This is the Dubai skyline which we plan to use in the trailer as Matt and Bill are staying in close proximity to this beach when they go to Dubai and so this would be easy to access and thus making it effective to portray in the film. We plan to use these buildings as a symbol to the Dubai culture as well as including the Burj Khalifa as it is eye catching to the audience and it is the symbol of Dubai.

We are also planning to feature London as our prominent location in the trailer as it is the most easily accessible  to us as a group and as we know London well and so can find the ideal locations to film the relevant scenes. We are planning to incorporate features of a chase scene and maybe a fight scene to help add to the action qualities of the film. The shot of the parliament building could be interesting to use as we know that there is a bridge nearby and so given us a high angle shot on any scenes we would film around that location as to add depth and effect to the storyline being portrayed.

Paris is another option as it offers more iconic landscapes to use throughout our trailer. We would probably focus the filming around the Eiffel Tower as it has some open areas around it so that we can freedom to film what we may want from there. We found this location on Google Maps which could be an ideal location as it provides the background of the Eiffel Tower whilst also allowing us to use the stairs in a similar way to our London scenes as they could be effective at portraying a chase or fight scene to a high degree of quality.
