12-P2 31 Location Research and pictures.

We made a pre-production visit to our location to work out its suitability for shooting, including access to necessary facilities and assessment of any potential lighting or sound issues. The room we are intending on using is the green room on the Long Road college grounds. This would have easy access to food and toilets as it is right next to both. The acoustics are good as the only real diegetic sound we are using is the phone ringing (which occurs in the last frame.) There is non-diegetic sound, the background music, where we will add in the editing process, so the acoustics would not affect it anyway.

The size of the room is adequate for filming as we only want a small room. However, there is a chance where we would have to film at a certain angle as the room is very small.

Below are some shots of rooms we found suitable or equally unsuitable:

 

This rooms size is adequate and the shape is correct for our production, however it is cluttered and is often in use making filming hard.

This room is similar in size and shape to the previous, however it is also under a lot of use and filming will be interrupted, finally there is too many door ways and posters in order for us to achieve the desired imagery.

This scene is of a possible backdrop to one of our flashbacks, it has good lighting and is naturalistic.

This room is plain and suitable for our desired imagery, however it is often locked and inaccessible making filming hard, it is also too cluttered to film in.

 

This is a second possible backdrop to one of our flashbacks, it has a suitable background and raised curb which we require.

This is the green room from college, this where we intend on filming, we are able to book the sole usage of this room and the large door allows us to film wider shots from outside and reduces the problems regarding room for the camera and actor.
