Scouting LocationsTo scout locations you will have to go to the locations you think will be appropriate to use. This

should be done by each person for their scene; however some locations may be used twice (as appropriate).

When a location has been found, pictures of the location should be taken. Accompanying each picture should be a brief description or reference of what scene will be shot there and from what angles (this could be achieved by making reference to scenes from either the shot list and storyboard or both.

In addition to this, you should also include any mention of where key props might be placed, any changes to the mis en scene and any lighting issues you may consider.Eg.

Scene 2 – The Operation –

2a

1. Lynch leaves the toilets and walks through the hallway and into a stairwell where he pauses to produce a white button up shirt and dark tie. He puts these on and continues up the stairs.

2b

2. Lynch opens a hallway door cautiously, but not suspiciously. He looks around and, seeing no one, he pulls out a crudely drawn floor map with wifi hot spots marked to indicate the main server.

3. Looking directly in front of him, with a slight nod, he folds the map up and puts it in his pocket. As he does so a door opens across from him. As a man emerges from the door, Lynch smoothly pulls out a phone, smoothly covering why his hand was in his pocket. He begins a benign conversation, as he smiles and nods to the man leaving the room.

4. He casually walks around the man and moves his foot to the left of the door to keep it slightly ajar. Lynch looks up to see if the man leaving has turned around, he hasn’t so he proceeds into the room, after a brief look around.

2c

5. He surveys the room quickly, then moves to his right to reveal the server. He takes out the USB; looks at it; checks the instructions and inserts it into the desired port.

6. He checks the time, takes another look around and leaves the room.
