JD Thompson's video: Locations In Film: Enhancing Story Character and Journey

This essay takes on the importance of locations in films. I look at how location influences story, characters, journey, cinematography, sound design, and much more. This video took over two and a half years to make. I reworked the script at least a dozen times and recorded VO at least three times. I know there are probably still more things that I did not cover in this video because this is such a big topic, but I tried to focus on the things that stood out to me the most. Thank you for watching and if you enjoyed it please leave a like so I know if I should make more videos like this one.
