Settings to Consider - #4

   When creating a film, it is always important to identify the setting, or multiple settings. This is because it will help to match the event to when and where it is taking place. Since my film will be about a teenager who learns how to box, there should definitely be a boxing gym used at some point in the film. The location should also be clean and organized as well.

 

  It should also include an exterior setting, which may showcase how the characters interact with each other more openly, and at certain times of the day. A great exterior setting to use would be around the neighborhood, because it is an easy place to go out and film at and there is a lot of space for different types of camera shots. There may be some parts of the film that need to be filmed at night, or during the day, and this can be greatly demonstrated using the natural lighting of the sun.

  The location of the final battle should be noted as it may be included in the opening. This is because I believe that tying in the past to the present will be able to resonate with the audience better and direct their attention towards a certain direction of events. It will also be beneficial to know where the film will start and where it will go down in the end because of this. 

  When thinking about these locations, I wondered how this would affect the timing of the film's production. Filming in multiple locations would require that I spend more time with equipment and props. The more time I will spend on production, the less time I would have for other factors, such as post-production and reflections of the final project.
