Location Scouting

Potential Location for Establishing Shots:

We found these areas within central London to be a potential place to shoot our establishing shots. This could be a potential due to how grand the city looks, which is similar to the fictional city of Gotham. Furthermore, the buildings at night look aesthetically pleasing due to the neon nights that are displayed on them. The only issue is the iconic buildings and monuments that London is known for can be seen, but this issue can be addressed by simply not showing those monuments and buildings at all.

Potential Location for The Joker and Jason Todd scene:

We found this area underneath the stage of Ernest Bevin College. We found this place to be a potential location for the scene with The Joker and Jason Todd because of how gloomy, depressing and dirty the place was. The place also resembles the area where Jason Todd was killed by The Joker within the comics, which makes this location ideal in an adaptation of that specific scene.

Potential Location for the mugging scene:

We found this area within Southside, Wandsworth. This was a potential location for the scene where the victim gets mugged as well as where the mugger notices and follows the victim. This is because the area of the location appears rich and modern, which similar to the urban areas of the fictional city of Gotham. Moreover, the area looks aesthetically pleasing at night and is also less busy, which is convenient for us to film.

Potential location for running scene:

We found this location with the streets of Southside, Wandsworth. This location could be potentially used for the scene with the mugger running off after mugging the victim. This is because the location is relatively near the location of the scene where the victim is mugged, meaning that the new setting would still resemble the previous setting without having too much of a change. Furthermore, the location also has plenty of space for our actor to run as well as for us to film our actor running.

Potential location for Red Hood killing mugger scene:

We found this location within the streets of Streatham, the underpass underneath the train tracks. This location could be potentially used for the scene where the mugger is killed by The Red Hood. This is because the graffiti and mouldy walls as well as the colouring of the area looks like the dirty streets of the fictional city of Gotham, where it’s often overrun with crime. Furthermore it establishes the gritty and dirty-like tone that we’re trying to establish within the teaser trailer.

Title: The Red Hood

Genre:  Film adaptation of a comic book character.

Audience: 15-40 Male who are fans of DC Comics and superheroes.

Outline: The plot of the Red Hood movie revolves around the character, Jason Todd who returns from the dead to seek out revenge under the mantle of The Red Hood. During his journey for revenge against The Joker, Jason is faced with many ordeals that cause internal conflicts within him about the correct way of serving justice against the criminals of Gotham City.

The opening of the movie starts off in the past, where Jason Todd is still Batman’s sidekick, Robin. The opening of the movie re-enacts the infamous death scene of Jason Todd, where he gets brutally beaten to the brink of death by The Joker with a crowbar. The place where Jason Todd is held up suddenly explodes as The Batman tries to save his sidekick in vain. He watches on at the burning building, assuming that Jason is dead. The opening of the movie serves to display the background and origin of The Red Hood to those that are unfamiliar with the characters background, as well as remaining faithful to the source material.

The middle of the movie involves several scenes of The Red Hood in pursuit of The Joker, who manages to get away unscathed every time. The Joker taunts The Red Hood each time he escapes, which then fuels The Red Hood’s desire for vengeance against the clown as well as his desire to kill him. There are also scenes of The Batman discovering The Red Hood’s identity to be Jason Todd, coming to the realisation that his former sidekick is still alive. This is then followed by several scenes of The Batman trying to deter Jason from his quest for vengeance, telling him why it’s wrong to kill. The middle of the movie serves to display Jason’s internal struggle of the correct way in dealing with justice, which is represented in the form of The Joker and Batman. This then develops Jason Todd as a character, as well as developing other side characters such as The Joker and Batman.

The ending of the movie involves several scenes of The Red Hood in pursuit of The Joker one last time. The setting takes place in the area where Jason was first killed by The Joker, signifying that everything has come full circle. Most of the scenes involve action sequences of The Red Hood taking down The Joker’s gang, struggling as he progresses on. By the time The Red Hood finally takes down everyone and catches The Joker, The Red Hood by then is heavily injured. He points his gun to the head of The Joker, readying to fire as the clown provokes him to do it. The Batman then suddenly enters through the scene, trying to persuade The Red Hood to let him live because it’s the right thing to do. The Red Hood eventually listens to The Batman, allowing The Joker to live as he’s sent to Arkham Asylum.
