Location

For our preliminary task we needed to find the perfect place to find our short mystery film. People may not realise but the location sets the mood for the whole production, everything has to fit together and so the location had to be exactly what we wanted. Our group wanted to make the short film as realistic as we could, considering we were in a school, so we built our story around the fact that we were in school during filming.

 

Our ideal room was to be relatively small with very little lighting; the lighting issue was a big thing for us because we wanted to keep one of our characters identities a secret and this would have been almost impossible for us to do if we had a brightly lit room. Luckily, the room we found met our rather high standards! It was small but not too small and only had a small window. The only fault we could find was that the window had no blind and so a lot of light came streaming through, however, we dealt with this issue by covering the majority of the window with black paper which stopped most light from entering.

 

Below are a few pictures of our location and also some actions shots of us whilst filming to give you a behind the scenes experience. Enjoy!
