Planning type stuff (mainly location)

Treamtent sheet done, so the next stage is the planning of stuff like locations, actors and props
For location, I will need;
  • The building the soldiers are clearing
  • The family home
  • The back of the Land Rover
  • The funeral
My ideas for each one are;
Building
  • The abandoned pool building at Fort Regent, because it is old, derelict, empty and generally has similar conditions to a building soldiers on duty might have to clear
  • The old Jersey Milk building, because it is derelict, abandoned and has similar conditions to a building soldiers might clear
  • The abandoned Pontins holiday resort, because it is old, weathered, derelict, vandalised and again, looks liek a building soldiers might be clearing
Family home
  • My own home, because as it is inhabited by a family with 3 children it will look similar to a regular family home, to encourage verisimilitude
  • My girlfriends home, because it also has a lived in look, but somewhat cosier than my own home, and again would encourage verisimilitude
Back of Land Rover

Not really a lot of location scouting needed here, it has to be the back of a blacked out Land Rover. Luckily, because of my role withing CCF, and in the past with Marine Cadets, I know several people who have blacked out Land Rovers whose permission I can ask to use for the small scene it's needed for

The funeral

This is going to be done in two sections, the first will be the section of the solo played as the coffin sinks into the ground, which i'll use the green screen for. The second will need me to fins a suitable location, probably a quite large graveyeard, to stand actors around, and either photoshop or green screen in the casket and the open grave.
