Planning: Location Shots

This location will be used for the third scene in my short film. It is the Howard School Playing field, rather than it looking like  a school field, I hope that it comes across as just a local park. I originally planned to use a busy street, however this was not so easy to film, and find a date in which we could use it.







This location is for the second scene. This is on Bluebell Hill viewpoint, Walderslade. I will use this scene for a number of shots, and I feel this is appropriate because it is a secluded location, perhaps reflecting how my character is feeling. I chose a good day to film using this location, as the weather was gloomy and raining. I think this shows some kind of pathetic fallacy within my film, as the emotion I am portraying matches the aspects of nature within this scene.

 This is the location for the last scene. The main character will be shown sitting round the table, in a dark lit room on his laptop. The idea of using a big room and  a big table will hopefully represent the theme of loneliness. This location was easily accessible as it was  my own house and therefore did not need permission to film here.

 
 

This is the location for the first scene. The curtains will be drawn and the TV on. It will show the main character sat on one sofa and the girlfriend sat on the other. I think this location is good to use, as the use of the two sofas can clearly show the emotional divide and disconnection between the two characters. Again this location was easily accessible as it is in my own house and therefore did not have to receive permission to use. The lighting will be easier to manage as the dimmer switch allows me to adjust the light accordingly.

This is the location for the fourth scene. It is part of The Howard School sixth form common room. This location is used to show the main character and all his friends together. However they will all be sat on their phones. I think the use of this room is necessary, as it allows me to pan round all the characters and then back round to the main character. This room may be hard to gain access too as I will have to wait for a time when no one is sitting on the sofas.
