Planning schedule

Planning to film, we hope to take the two days, Wednesday 30th and Thursday 31st October, out of the half term to film the majority of our sequence. Having cast our main character, transport links between locations will be easy, allowing the two days to encompass all of our filming. We hope to start filming early morning, allowing us most of the day to shoot.


Location:  We have decided to film the majority of our shots at my house. This is because we ideally need scenes with enclosed surroundings such as bedrooms, so that the audience are able recognise the theme of loneliness as a result of the young girls drug abuse. Not only this, but the claustrophobic atmosphere mimics the small aspects of which the girls life revolves around, this being her addiction. Furthermore, an inside location allows us to alter the lighting, enabling scenes to witness differentiations in meaning. Inside the house we will use the props of a bed and a mirror, acting as another reason why we have chosen to film inside a house. This will play a key role in connecting with the audience, contradicting the 'ordinary' feeling of a home with that of someone using the four walls as a shelter.  

Only one scene we will be using a different location, this being the party scene. At this moment in time, we are unclear of when and where we will be filming this, having two possible alternatives. Ideally, we are hoping for a party to fall over the half term however, if this is not the case we have a back up plan of filming in a dark mobile classroom at our college. For this we have already arranged for a mass group of students to participate therefore, actively representing a partying atmosphere. Props in hand for this would simply be a mobile phone, using a strobe light application to replicate a correlated surrounding.
