Location Decision

We have decided to film in location number one. This is because location two has many cons which we cannot control such as the noise from the busy roads and the dark lighting in the bedroom. The cons in location one such as bright decor and items in the garden are ones which we can improve.

Casting

Pen Portrait

Name We will decide on the name for the character once we've casted him/her.
Age15/16
Personality The main character is quite timid and withdrawn due to him/her being bullied for most of their school life. They are also very intelligent. However once the bullies push him/her too far she becomes cruel, manipulative and obsessive.

To find someone suitable for this role we will be holding open audtions. We will generally only audition people who are 15-17 year olds but if someone younger or older looks like they could play the part we will audtion them too.

Location Planning

Location Number One - The Back Of A House

Option Number One




Pros - The house is located in quite a quiet area so there would be no noise from traffic.
There are decking steps leading up to the back of the house which means it would be easy to film it from different angles.

Cons - The back of the house isn't flat so it would be quite tricky to get it all in on camera.
There is a quite a lot of items in the garden which would take time moving to get the shot we need.

Option Number Two



Pros
There is less things in the garden to obstruct the camera than there is in the former picture.
The back of this house is flat which means it will be easier to get it all on camera.

Cons
The house is situated near quite a busy road which means there will be some noise disturbances when it comes to filming.




Location Number Two - The Bedroom

Option Number One




Pros The room is quite a large room so there would be plenty of room for filming.
There is two windows in this room which means we will be able to get good light whilst filming.

ConsAs the room is a loft room there is not many straight walls and really we need a straight wall for part of our filming.
The decor is quite cheerful which isn't really suitable for the mood we want to create.


Option Number Two



Pros
The walls in this room are more suitable as they are all straight which means our photo wall can be easily constructed.
The decor is much more subtle which is more fitting of our main character.

Cons
The room is quite small which means filming space could be restricted.
The room is also quite dark.
