Locations

When looking at locations me and Ellen had quite similiar ideas. For our first scene between Lucy and her friend I decided to use the local school library at Marlwood school as that showed sixth form, realistic life. I think it worked well as it was quite big so we could use different places or angles to film the best shot. We also had reality in the background of normal people doing their day to day projects and because it was a library it was quiet enough to hear our actors but loud enough to hear people in the background.

Second location was at my house between Lucy and her mother in my kitchen. Ellen chose the kitchen as it seemed more homey as the mum could be cleaning/washing up and we could get a good shot of Lucy walking down the stairs into the kitchen. I also then came up with the idea that we could film Lucy and her mum frontwards whilst still doing their jobs and seeing the background as the kitchen has a big window looking out to the garden so I could stand out at the garden, open the window and film in which I really liked as it was quite a different shot.

Third location was in Alveston bridle path, we used it about half 10am on a Friday morning so we had the sun at a nice point coming through the trees/bushes. There are lots of places such as walkways/fields you can film in around the main wood part to get different shots. The problem we had that day was it was a bit muddy so doing running scenes were difficult but found a way by doing different angles to cover up that up.
