Establishing Shots

We have planned for our film opening to feature some establishing shots and a few shots of the inside of the garage before the title sequence/ action begins. The establishing shots are to be of the house of the main character, focusing on the garage as that is where the next scene (and title sequence) takes place.

Although our opening is filmed in my garage, we are not going to be using my house for the establishing shots; we want something that looks like a typical suburban house, whereas mine is a town house so does not fit the look we are going for. Instead, we are planning to film our establishing shots at a two storey, corner house, with a red garage door so it is clear exactly what is being focused on. As it tends to be dark at the time school ends, myself and Rachel are planning to film our establishing shots during the day in over the Christmas holidays.
