Location Scout and Blocking Test for Scene 4 (Underpass Scene)

The following YouTube clip is the location scout and blocking test for Scene 4 of our film. The scene is where Ryan (main character) follows Harry (dead brother) through an underpass/tunnel. We attempted to film different angled shots to help create our storyboards and to see on screen which shots work and which shots aren't appealing. This shot is going to be hard to film due to different aperture changes and whether we decide to film the shot with a large or shallow depth of field. If we shoot the scene with a large depth of field Ryan and Harry will be captured in focus. However, if we give the shot a shallow depth of field only Ryan will be in focus, and Harry in the distance will remain out of focus and anonymous, which would assert a level of ambiguity.




This is the location we have decided on filming scene 4 (Underpass Scene) because the underpass offers the darkness which is required for Ryan to be within, but also the light at the end and in the middle is perfect for Harry's ascent into the light...
