Especially if the location is essential to the plot of your 2 minute film opening.
In the planning process of our portfolio project, my group and I have agreed that the setting of our film will be significant to accomplishing the authenticity of the plot and how we hope to present this narrative to the world. Despite the fact that our film opening is that of a fictional story, it is one that centers around a very non-fictional concept. Sex trafficking is an extremely serious problem and the tone of our opening is intended to reflect that same seriousness. According to my research, victims of sex trafficking are often lured into the industry via coercion, force, or fraud. These tactics often include physical and sexual abuse and traffickers transport individuals in various ways. The modes of sex trafficking transportation often takes place in the most obvious of places such as harbors, train stations, and bus stops. However, it occurs in the most subtle of ways. Thus, we have decided to shoot the initial minute of our film opening at Vista View Park.
A park is the perfect location for the atmosphere of our film. Vista View, in particular, is not often busy and therefore allows us to film in a location that we can depict as isolated/deserted. Additionally, Vista View is referred to as "The Hills". This is a unique characteristic of this park because South Florida terrain is not in any way Hill-like. "Fortunately", the park used to be a landfill (YAY) but is now a green, flowed filled park where the occasional Floridian can run up the un-occasional Florida hill.
An issue that Vicky pointed out in the atmosphere of the park is that it is extremely green, which contradicts the mood of our film. As a solution, we are choosing to post edit our footage with a grey, dull filter and modify the saturation levels to depict the hopelessness of our main character's situation.
We plan to shoot on top of the hill and use close shots to further enforce the isolation of the scene.
P.s.-
The Date is set!
We are shooting on Saturday March 16th.
