Location Recce: Lighting Shop
Location Recces:
The lighting shop is the location for the whole of the opening scene it will take place in a part of the narrative when the trail on Tom Longley has gone cold, and the hitman is trying to find the target by searching around places where the target goes, visits or is familiar with, bringing him to a lighting shop, next to a bustling road.
The lights in shop can be used to our advantage as we can easily use them to get effects on the characters to create tension or to develop characters. Certain coloured lights for example a greeney-white can be on the characters face to disconnect him from the audience and make him seem inhuman. The shop has a ladder/trolley on wheels - which can be used for steady camera work. The black curtains will be removed, making the location seem more believable and thus more realistic and intense.
The counter will be where the hitman and shop assistant will exchange conversations and where the hitman kills the shop assistant. The shelf in the middle can also be used for the camera, by laying it on spaces between the shelves we will be able to get some interesting shots. The lights coming down from the top could be used to our advantage for top lighting, to exaggerate features on the hitman's face or to exaggerate shadows to make him see more sinister or evil. The right of the picture above and in the middle of the image below is the entrance to another room in the shop, where the hitman enters the scene from. A bright light could possibly be used for when the hitman walks out of this room to create a powerful shadow as he comes through. Making the audience feel like the character is filling the room through his presence and darkness giving him dominance and allowing the audience to understand his power.

The till for customers to pay at and also where the conversation between the hit man and the cashier occurs. It is very realistic and has all the equipment that we already need such as a till, computer screen, chair and lighting. The till is also quite long so you could get a shot from the side that allows you to see the conversations being exchanged.
