Stage 3: Film Location

So here are some pictures of the locations we would like to film at around our area:

Kafe Kokopelli

As you can see this is an upscale for a smalltown. This is a popular restaurant and a good location to find a detective lost in thought, trying to figure out his case of a hacked simulation. The setting has a lot of character as well, the rustic yet clean environment, shows how proper and serious the detective is as a person.

Jiffy in San Antonio

This is just a convenience store, that everybody goes to. The Jiffy is a dive, but a common location. This would be a great filming spot to find the Hacker, who wants to stay low-key, or to show the opposing characteristics between the Detective and his common area and the Hacker and where he would rather reside. This also shows the hackers characteristics. We see that this place is run down and hidden, kind of the hacker. He is hidden and only appears when he has to cooperate with the Detective. So, the setting can add character itself.

Dade City Transmission

Cool story behind this place, Kevin’s Father actually owns it. This would give us more opportunity to film, we would have successful cooperation, compared to other places we have mentioned. In addition, this gives us a plot idea of having the detective and hacker meet up here because the detective’s car is being repaired. This could be where the detective thoughts get interrupted by the hacker, because not only is he worried about his case but a car as well. Again, this is very noir is, urban town auto place. Also, we would be able to probably film at night, adding to the setting of a noir film with a monotone color pallet, having the hacker then make the simulation they are in colorful. So, this sparked ideas when writing our second script.

Circle K Gas Station

So a gas station is another alternate location to shoot, we could have the detective filling up gas, talking to himself, then being interrupted by the hacker approaching him with sarcasm. This is definitely a consideration because it would catch the detective off guard and out of thought. Again, clearly showing the opposing characters but their reason for joining forces.
