As inspiration for our locations, we used Google images to search for

images that were similar to the ideas we had in our minds as a group.

When we had found several images, we chose the best one and

attempted to create a location similar to that in the photograph. The image

on the left is what we decided on after searching Google Images. We then

created a similar photograph which is shown on the right.

The corridor scene was still done in school as it was our first time filming

and we had permission to film on that occasion.

To experiment with lighting, we took images with the lights on and off to

see which would look better. As we initially thought, the location looks

better and suits our movie opening more when the lights are off.

THE TOILET

This toilet was suitable for our scenes as it is very spacious and also has

a wide mirror. We found this toilet to be better than Saint Anne’s School’s

toilet. This is because at our school, the space between the toilet and the

mirror was very narrow, causing us to film inside the toilet at times. This

made it more challenging to film. However, the toilet at the youth centre

had enough space, as evident, to film without any barriers.

We found that the lift gives a

suspenseful effect as it’s slow in

movement. Also, it allowed us to

use different camera angles

(CCTV: downwards tilt and

upwards tilt in the non-CCTV

scenes). This is why we decided to

use it. It was very easy to use as

there was a button which allowed

us to stop at any time which meant

that we could go back up or down

if we needed to re-film.

These buttons were useful when we

needed to re-film a certain scene.

However, it was seen as an issue to

the filmer as they had to film (holding

the camera) and press the button at

the same time. This was inconvenient.
