Location Scout Survey
(attach location photos)
Project Name: The Boy in the Woods
Completed by: Emil Talic
Scout Date & Time: April 13,
2015
Location address: 24899 Fillmore Road
Day and time of shoot: Sunday
Location description (interior/ exterior):
The interior is the basement of a suburban house consisting
of play area, w/ pool table, bar area, carpeting, and couches. The outside will
consist of a wooded area and grass plains.
Describe the scene and action. How many people are on
camera?
The interior scenes will be in the basement with a party
going on in it. People will be partying, dancing, drinking at the bar, and
playing pool. There will be 5 or so people involved as our actors.
How much space is needed?
We will need sufficient space to have our party scenes,
space for the crew and the equipment, and a wooded area to have the body bag
dragging scenes.
Will the action be shot from one or multiple locations?
The action will be shot from two locations, the basement of
a home in which the party scenes will take place, as well as the “murder”
scene. Then the outside location will be the woods where they will hide the
body.
Is there off-screen space available?
Yes, there is plenty of space in the basement since the
basement is fairly descent size to have the equipment set up. The outside
locations in and near the woods has plenty of space as well.
What are the light levels and sources of light? How does
this impact your scene?
The light levels in the basement are kind of low, since it
is just residence. There are several lights in the basement’s ceiling. We will
use additional light where needed in low light situations. We will also change
the lighting color in editing as the warm tone will impact are scenes in a
negative way. We want to have a dark and ominous feeling for the lighting as we
will have some of those themes in the narrative. In the edit we will change the
lighting to more cool tones to achieve the feeling for the theme we’re going
for.
Are you recording sound? Are there any issues to be aware
of?
Yes, we will record the actors carrying the body bag outside
in the woods as they talk back and forth to each other. We will also be
recording them in the basement part scenes. Some issues would be the outside
scenes with dialog, as there is a lot of background noise we could pick up.
Is there any special equipment needed?
We will be using extra led lights for the low light scenes
in the basement. We might also need the shotgun microphone and boom for the
outdoor dialog.
Are there any concerns that need to be addressed about
shooting at this location?
The home is in a rural area so there is plenty of room for
shooting and we don’t need to worry about shooting on private property as they
have no neighbors.
