TRANSITIONS UNIT: LOCATION RECCE

With the choice of location for Jessica Jones. Myself and Victoria worked together on choosing this, having in mind whether we had access and also whether it suited the production. Originally, we were considering using the basement at my student house as this would give us that dingy and horrible sort of vibe which you want from Jessica's flat. However, another group took this location before us.

Victoria changed the script and adapted it so that Jessica and Malcolm would now be living together, meaning he could come in and out of the flat easily. With this in mind, we looked into using Victoria's living room. Photos of this are below:




From a visual point of view, I think this location is actually better. For lighting, the windows are much larger so the room is more easy to fill. The room is actually larger (if we remove the sofas) so there's more room to shoot and also we are able to make this look like a small studio flat. As well as the hallway outside looking like a block of flats hallway. Plus the street outside for us to use for the opening scene.

The set will need to be dressed and changed to look more like a flat as well as making it look like it's been "trashed". This will work well though. What's good here (refer to photo 1) is that there is an old fire place in this room which could be where the ashes are smashed as you can't be sure an urn would actually smash on a carpet floor.
