Settings: Chase #1

My questionnaire suggested that urban environments would be best to film in, however, I thought this location might be quite good as the characters could run between the trees and hide behind them. I want to limit the amount of outdoor shots in open spaces however due to lighting.
A good urban corner in an enclosed space. This is ideal for acting as well as they can run around the corner in the silent film style. It doesn't look too new either; it is suitably dreary to set the mood.
A zigzag path means that this location is ideal for the over the top running and turning in chase scenes. This is yet another urban location too although there are some plants visible. I could also just use this brick wall as a basic backdrop, which is what I would like to do.

This location is a bit too open and rural for my liking. I want more enclosed spaces so that I can control the lighting, which is, in my opinion, the biggest difference between amature videos and proffesssional ones. Having said that, I could use just a small part of this wall for a basic backdrop.
This is an open space again so I don't really want to film a lot here, however, I thought it might be good for a shot of, say, the victim sitting down and reading a paper whilst the killer runs past. Also, in the video made by the two girls in the previous post, they run across chairs and tables quite successfully in the silent film chase style. I could do the same here.


This is near to the third setting. It's relatively enclosed and very urban and dreary. It could make a good shot.
A very enclosed and spooky place when dark. This would be very good for a chase scene and the ledge means that I could easily do high and low angle shots.
This is a rural space again but I still thought it would be worth considering as a plain backdrop.








Another rural space that is quite open. I thought a shot of this long space in the dark might be quite scary though.







An urban backdrop again. I'm not sure if its a little too clean or modern though...







Another dreary urban space that might be good for an odd shot.
