Due to the difficulty with turning a room into a convincing office for my film trailer I have decided to look for alternate locations for my scenes that will create a more believable whilst still being suitable for my trailer.
I think that at least one of the two office scenes can be moved to a different location for example the one with Northcott and Malory talking could easily be changed to one of their homes or some sort of bar etc. Similarly the one in which Northcott confronts Sylvester could be changed to outside, somewhere discreet where nobody would see him confronting him.
Ideas for new locations
Confrontation location: This could be changed to behind a building with an industrious, plain feel that could represent the back of the office in which the detectives work. It could also be in some sort of tenfoot or back alley in which Northcott has convinced Sylvester to meet him.
Northcott and Malory talking: This scene could be one of the pairs house, a scene with them walking down a street discussing the case, or a cafe set up. The latter of these would require a lot of mise-en-scene to be successful, the walking one would be easiest and still remain effective.
A different idea for this scene could be in a car before they say leave for or from work. The car could be stationary and would be easy to shoot and make look effective.
Overall these scenes move away from the college environment which is proving difficult to film in.
