Location

This post shows our initial ideas regarding the location of filming as well as some of the potential struggles we would face.


There were 4 main locations that we used

LAUREN'S BEDROOM- my bedroom
This room was

• Bright
• Pink 
• Clean 
• Organised 
• Showed off her achievements 
• Girly

SCARLETT'S ROOM-Emily's Bedroom.
This room was

• Dark 
• Messy 
• Untidy
• Red
• Grown up 
• full of school brochures

BOTH ROOMS WERE USED TO REFLECT THE CHARACTERS PERSONALITY. As the intro was very short the rooms allowed the audience to see more of what the characters are like.

JOURNEY TO SCHOOL

This shots we to again show the contrasts between the characters. Lauren was going to be shown getting the bus with her friends. This showed how popular she was. Originally we were going to have a shot of Lauren meeting her friends on the bus however this idea was quickly scraped because of practical reasons. 

Scarlett's journey to school was going to be much different. Originally Scarlett was going to be shown waiting for a train at an empty train station to show isolation and reinforce that fact she is new and alone. However this idea had to be scraped as well because of practical reasons. Instead we decided to have her walking to school along side a reasonably empty road. 

SCHOOL 

This was the harder section to film as on a sunday all schools at closed. In order to get around this we decided to shoot at the local park. We chose an entrance that look grand- to fit the theme of the school. The location had a grand stone entrance and was wide enough to allow all 5 characters to walk in together.

From this exercise we learnt that a lot of detail needed to be taken when planning your location and some of the possible problems you would face to avoid and struggles during films.
