Locations

Today we spent our time scouting out out locations for our shots,

• outside for the death scene (near a tree)



• the walk to the dark room



• the principles office



• and the dark room
  

We found a great place to film the death, by the hedge with a tree on the right side of the shot, we wanted it to be either dark or rainy-it will be tricky to find a dark day as summer is approaching and the days are getting lighter for longer so we may have to go for just rain, we plan to evaluate this in the end however.
there are some great paths around the school where you can see the trees and yet still get the impression you are in a school, the only problem with this is that the school is having building work done which we would prefer not have in our shot and so we will have to work around that.
We spoke to our head teacher and she kindly agreed to let us film the stealing of the key from her office we are contemplating using her in the actual film.
We also spoke to the head of photography and he said he would set up the dark room to make it more realistic and he would put the blinds and turn up the red lights for us. the difficulty we may face then is that the room will be too dark to film in which means we will have to re-think our lighting in there. for us. the difficulty we mfilm in which means we will have to re-think our lighting in there.
