Location and Shots

Our main sequence will be fillmed out side and inside the car park on Dale Steet/Red Lion Street. We will be filming between 7.30am and 11.00am on a Friday Morning to film, this was because there was a lack of people around giving us a better theme of loneliness. Also we will be filming in Picadilly gardens, The great Northen Warehouse and at the streets in the Northern Quartar when the shops are closed.

Hazzards:
>Weather - If it would have rained we would have had to postpone our filming and been behind. But the weather is supposed to be decent for the two weeks we will be filming
>Vehchiles - as we are filming in a car park there where many cars traveling in a out, so we will have to be cautious of ourselves and the equipment.

Development research:

28 Days Later Directed by Danny Boyle

I am LegendDirected by Frances Lawrence
A major factor of our sequence is that many of the people have died of the virus so we had to find a way to convey the lonliness the main character would be experiencing.So we drawn inspiration from the film 28days later and I am Legends desolate opening sequences.



There's sights in urban London that the majority would reconise and its desolate. Looted can machines and littering money shows that the city isn't in order anymore .It seems like the civilisations crumbled and there's no sign of anyone. These Signs that the place that would've been home to tens of thousand and is no longer occupied,like the dead phoneline ,unkept water mains dirty littered streets etc'. The peircing silence and signs of absence work well in conveying he's completely alone. Everything in the shots are there for a reason ,Boyle was on a budget but it worked in his favor making the film more intimate without the over use of special effects like in Hollywood blockbusters.Over turned buses ,abandoned cars Etc' say more than any character could and it makes the viewer ask questions engaging them in curiosity.




In i am Legends sequence ,they have CGi at disposal with a bigger buget in which they show ariel shots of the city to convey the vast deserted city.The radio transmition tells the audience that he can't find anyone,apart from his dog he's alone. Both show two major cities London and New York where would be the home to millions now completey ravaged. The environmental deterioration reflects the characters mental
