Exploring location

Location

Grace's House:
We decided to use Grace's house as getting to and from was easiest for our group, also the layout of the bedroom and front room fitted nicely for our filming.

Bedroom:

We used the bedroom for the first part of filming as the set of the bed in the room is in the prime spot next to the window which helps us capture a good morning shot, we used mise-en-scene in the bedroom by making it look messy with clothes and make up on the floor as it is suppose to be a teenage girls bedroom.

Living Room: 

We decided to film this scene in the living room as we agreed this was the best place for what we wanted to film. Grace took photos of the living room and showed our group before we started filming to make sure we could all decide this was the right location.

Filming here made sense as the room tied in nicely with the social realism side of the filming as its your everyday living room.

School Alleyway:

We chose to film here as it's close for us all to get to and the setting in the alley way is very dirty and rough looking which is what we were looking for when deciding which alleyway to film in, as the mise-en-scene is very realistic.

School Gates:

We chose to film at the school gate because our storyline is the girl about to go into school, so we chose Weald as it's easily accessible and simple for us to film at and is obvious it is a school gate.
