Previously to film my group made a trip to the building site in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey to check whether filming the warehouse scene would be appropriate, fit our vision of filming and also make us aware of how the scene would look like visually both in the construction stages as well as what it may look like against other scenes when being edited.
We agreed that prior to filming the location had to be near empty as it we didn't want any disturbances such as members of the building site being in shot without permission as well as trucks driving past the camera making it go out of focus and disturb the action being captured. We wanted the warehouse to be a large size with dark lighting (preferably filmed at night), empty with no people and a cold, unfriendly and vacant feel further conveying a haunting, empty and vulnerable feel, similar to the atmosphere created at the church (HERE is a link to my post on the location recce I completed previous to filming at the church and HERE is a link to my post on filming the grave yard scene at the church) and scenes filmed at the car park (HERE is a link to my post on the location recce I completed previous to filming at the car park and HERE is a link to my post on filming the car park scenes in Woking, Surrey) making Aaron seem alone, vacant and lonely. This atmosphere also conveys Sydney's association with the trading of illegal passports to helpless, manipulated and desperate refugees and migrants as forced upon her by the illegal gang. In this sense both Aaron and Sydney appear to be alone, vacant and lonely.
HERE is a link to a case study I completed about the trading of illegal passports.
