The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening: Locations

The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening


4. Locations

The first location we shot at was in Cheshunt School, EB8 9LY

This was the first scene we shot, in Cheshunt School. This room/laboratory was in the science block, room 32, Miss Lein's classroom



Elephant and Castle, Deacon way estate.

We used an abandoned estate in Elephant and Castle to film in. A lot of people film videos for various different things here, vlogs, music videos and many other things.




The opening scene is filmed on a walkway which leads on to houses among the walkway. We decided to use this location as it is quirky, remote and may raise questions among the audience.




These are the stairs which leads to the walkway in the previous scene. We decided we should use this location as it slowly starts the chase and people may be confused if we go from a walkway, straight to ground level.




 This scene follows on from the stairs, and leads to the courtyard/public garden. This scene is open and shows the audience the environment, showing the other people in the scene who may be a danger to the runner.

 This scene is similar to the previous and follows on to location which we are running through. We added thsi shot as it may cause slight confusion going from a wide, open space, to a smaller area in the next scene.

 This scene is where the courtyard/public garden is. These buildings are rooms from the houses in the flats. This scene shows a character at the top of the walkway, viewers may see this and question it. This will make the audience wonder if there was a reason the character was included in the shot.

 This scene is the same as the one before. The camera is just angled higher up. The character is standing along the balcony/walkway which leads to the doors of the houses. This shot shows the character looking at the people who are running. This shot shows significance to this character, answering the questions people may have.

 This is the wall which borders the courtyard/public garden. This scene is just behind the camera in the previous scene. This scene allows a bit of parkour to be introduced into the video, adding parkour to a chase will intensify the action genre. 

 This walkway is right beside the the courtyard/public garden, as you can see from the previous photo. I feel that this shot adds very well to the genre, which is why we included it.

 This is the courtyard/public garden, this is an open area where the chase can continue. We decided to use this area as we found a spot in which we could incorporate a climb which would add to the action genre.

This is the final shot and location of the video, (the previous two shots/locations are just shots from the walkway looking towards the courtyard/public garden), we wanted to raise questions among the viewers with the final shot. Does the runner get caught? where do they run to next? Do they continue to run? etc. These questions will make the viewers want to watch the rest of the film, which is what we aimed to do.

The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening: Inspiration

3. Inspiration

The Edge - AS Level Media Studies Opening Sequence by Rory Campbell

This specific video gave us the inspiration of including a chase.

I like the idea of including a chase because it involves action, and looks fun to shoot and edit.

I came across this video as i was stuck for ideas on what to base my video around and was looking at other peoples AS Media 2 minute film opening videos.

Storm Freerun - Volume 1

Storm Freerun are a group of free runners from the UK. We have been inspired by them because in our opinion they are the best free running group around and perform excellently in their sport.

We came across this video as we decided that we would like to include free running in our video, as opposed to roller blades in the first video.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

Jamie - I will be mainly responsible for the editing. Editing is one of my main skills in which I
can offer, I am the most familiar and experienced members of the group in the editing field.
Me and some of the actors will be choreographing the chase scene in which includes parkour. Jack and some friends and I are responsible for finding the locations we need to shoot at. for this we will be travelling, and shooting up at London.

Jack - Jack will mainly be responsible for filming, and getting the camera angles/shots. Jack will be mainly responsible for the shooting of the film as he will not be in the film.

All - We will all contribute towards ideas for camera angles/shots, how the scenes will link together, opinions on how the film should look whilst editing, the script.
This is because we are a team and cannot allow one person to make major decisions like this by themself, we may not agree on someones specific idea, but as a team we can discuss an idea untill we all agree on it.

The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening: How and Why

The Run - 2 Minute Film Opening


1. How and Why

We came up with a concept idea as we discussed many ideas within a group of friends. We decided that we wanted to film an action film, which included the art of free running. We then started to interpret a story for the film to run on, and decided which parts will be shown in the opening 2 minutes.

Lastly, we developed our ideas further into including specific techniques in which we needed to used in the making of the video.
