Location Scouting

Good morning everyone! As promised here's my post on my location scouting adventures. So it was a nice sunny morning and I actually hadn't planned prior to that morning to drive around South Florida. I started up my Jetta and placed my camera bag underneath the front seat to prevent it from sliding around. In the backseat I had my favorite coat just in case it got a bit chilly (it didn't). I picked my friend Vivek to serve as a subject so I could frame my shots but unfortunately he decided to stay inside the car for the majority of the time. He did, however, aid me tremendously in discovering new potential locations to film an illicit business exchange. Posted below are some of the pictures from our excursion

The first three pictures above are from my favorite location (also pictured below). I really loved how the power lines from leading lines in the frame which would allow for the viewer to quickly focus into the center of the action. The road follows with their direction centered between the lines which would add to the symmetry of the shot if it becomes necessary to include a powerful centered perpendicular to the road—perhaps to display the aftermath of the crime. The rest of the pictures incorporated more of an industrial setting or in the case of the road an isolated simple setting to better develop the contrast between the subjects and the background. 

As per my friend's suggestion I have been looking into creating a rough runthrough of the film opening with local locations to better develop an idea of how long the film opening comes out to and to plan the blocking of props and actors.
