Ideal Locations

Ideal locations:




Before we consider filming dates, we are researching possible places to film. We want to have a shot of the bedroom and of (the inside and outside of) the school.

We plan on using our school, IGS, for filming. We hope to film after school, as this will mean that we have the most control over who is walking down the corridors and what is happening while we film. We also want to have shots that were different which showed off our creative side and therefore our indie background. For this we want to take inspiration from Submarine (Ayaode, 2010). We also want to have shots of down the corridor which may also include some classroom scenes 

For the bedrooms, particularly the girl's bedroom, we plan to have a space that we can pan by in order to show what the character is interested in by using mise-en-scene and therefore cutting the amount of dialogue etc, but this is not a deal-breaking requirement. We hope that the bedroom has an en-suite, as this would make the transitions while the character gets ready easier to complete.

Stereotypical teen room

We would like the bedroom to be messy and therefore it will signify a stereotypical teenagers room and show they are disorganised and therefore could suggest they are an outsider and with more anchorage of the character we feel this could be achieved. 



Location Scouting:

Lauren's Room

 We thought lauren's room worked well but because it didn't have an en-suite but also wasn't really what we were looking for due to the lack of natural light. 

Inside the front entrance 

 Although the lighting in this picture is quite dark we opened both doors for our filming to let in more light. we also wanted to film here due to the automatic doors to create a good impression of the character to make him look superior and special. 

Front Entrance 

We liked our front entrance of school with the old stone and arch way and thought to some extent it added to the glam factor that we wanted to continue as best we could despite being an indie company. 

School Scene Corridor

Most of the corridors in the 'new building' are identical to this, this was something that we wanted incase one corridor was busy when we needed to film quieter scenes this is something that we wanted and we liked the fact that they were long to get nice extreme long shots but also contained a lot of light, which was needed to get quality shots.
