Arcane Evaluation Question 4

Website Ideas - Awards

After researching a number of official film websites, we are currently considering featuring awards which our film ‘Arcane’ has won on our own homepage.  After researching the official websites of popular films such as ‘The Artist’, ‘Argo’ and ‘Life of Pi’, we discovered that they all display their achievements in cinema to promote themselves.   If a film has received multiple accolades from recognized and trustworthy sources, then it triggers curiosity in the public as to why they are so highly recommended. 

 We are currently thinking about choosing an award from the Academy Awards, BAFTAs or Cannes Film Festival for our film, as these are often considered the grandest honors to receive in terms of cinematic recognition.  

Below is an image of how we will present our film's awards on the website homepage if we do go through with the concept.

Tunbridge Wells Location Shots

Before filming our trailer, we had to determine where the majority of our chase and fight scenes would take place.  To do this we searched locally, sourcing locations that would keep within our budget but still appear to be in urban London.  These places had to be relatively secluded, ensuring that no members of the public would interrupt filming, and needed to provide an open space for our actors to work with.  We eventually decided upon a select few areas in Tunbridge Wells, all of which fitted our criteria.  

The first location was the lower floor of an underground car park.  Our favourite characteristic of this location was the overhead artificial lighting, which provided a harsh and gritty atmosphere and emphasised the idea of danger surrounding our main character.

The next location was the car park’s staircase, a grungy and unkempt area which provided many dynamic angles for shooting.

The third location was the open top floor of the car park.  We chose this area for it’s impressive skyline, one which we could use to mimic the view from a tall London building.

The fourth location used was a derelict alleyway between two old buildings which had a rusty fire exit staircase, where our character could sit.  We thought this would be helpful for creating a pause between any action scenes, allowing the audience to refocus on the main character.

The final location we chose was a similar alleyway for where our main character would be attacked.
