Out of the Blue film

Recce Report

The majority of our short film, Out of the Blue, will be set in a college location. Our target audience being 12-25 year olds, will mean that the majority of the audience will possibly be students, or have been a student no too long ago, and so they will be able to relate well to the college setting.

For the argument characters Kate and Lily are going to have we chose a location within the college with a bench. This is so that the characters can sit together and appear to be spending time with each other in college during their break, as college students do, again relating to the target audience, as they would be familiar with this. We will also film Kate and Lily talk here at the end of the film, because Kate would have travelled back in time, to the beginning of the argument. Also when Kate goes missing and Lily looks at an article about her disappearance she will sit on the same bench, this is because it would have been the last location that Lily would have seen Kate.

Another location we plan to use is the corridor, this is because it leads to the next location, which will be a classroom. We have also chosen to film in the corridor due to the door at the start of it; we wish to show the character Caroline come through the door on a number of occasions to communicate to the audience how the main actor Kate time travels.

As stated previously, the corridor then leads to the next location, the classroom. This is were we have planed for Kate to find a watch. The title we have chosen for our short film is Out of the Blue, this in relation to the fact that the narrative is about the main character, Kate, finding a watch out of the blue. We feel that an empty classroom is a suitable location for finding a watch that enables Kate to time travel out of the blue, whilst still being a realistic location for an ordinary college student to take a watch from (It’s unlike for a college student to take a watch they find in a park or off the street).

We then plan to show how Kate uses the watch selfishly and so casually that it becomes a part of normal life for her and so have decided to create a montage to communicate this to the audience. The first location for the montage we've chosen is the park, to show the audience a different setting to college. Also college students do go outside of college on their breaks too and so we wanted to show this too.

The next montage location is the entrance and exit of the college. One of the scenarios we plan to show is Kate trying to leave the college, but having forgot her ID Card on a bench inside college, this being another location, she then goes back in time to get it.

The last location we plan to use in the montage sequence is a sitting area within the college. Kate is going to be sat in the sitting area when character Caroline appears; at first Kate doesn't notice her and so for this to work there would have to be more than one bench with a good amount of space between them, this location fits what we need and so has been chosen. 

Kate then time travels and finds herself at the park where character Lily dies. We feel that it would be suitable to the location where Lily’s dies not to be a location within college as the majority of the films locations will be filmed within college locations. However this being a significant scene would be better filmed in a different location to empathises its importance.
