A double reflection - location recce & release

 

We decided to film in several locations to portray to the narrative in the way we want.
Our locations are near and we do not need permission etc to use them.

location 1 - Shannon's house: In the story the character Amelie (nice twin) is a typical girl and we needed to film scenes in her room and as I myself have a all pink room we decided it be a good setting for those scenes.

-There no serious or potential health and safety hazards on this set
- Its near to Fareham college so public transportation will be used to reach set.
- we do not need extra sets, or character building furnishings.

location 2 - Kieran's house: For scenes where the character Jackie (evil twin) is filmed being derangded and basically a typical 'evil' character, we needed to film in a outside of an attic (where she has been forced to live) - we was thinking of using the studio in fareham college but thought it would be easier to use an actual attic as we wouldn't need to book it out and create a 'attic like' set - which will also save money on the budget.

- There are no serious or potential health and safety hazards on this set
- its easy to reach from Fareham college via train.
- we will only need minimal extra things for character building purposes for example jackie eats out of a dog bowl so we'd need that but no sets etc.

location 3 - town centre (probably Fareham): this location is needed for scenes where Jackie pretends to be her twin sister amelie, unaware to her family and the audience that jackie has escaped. Jackie out of envy, is trying to wreck amelies life so tries to make amelie look like a horrible person to her boyfriend.

- will need to take into consideration the background noise of passers by.
- will have to make sure not to get in the way of the public due to our own and their health and safety.
- will have to film during certain times of the day due to lighting.
- make sure electrical equipment is fully charged as there will be no power supply to re-charge.
-be careful with equipment - theft.
- will have to film away from shops - copyright laws.
- make sure not to film public faces, as we have to have permission.

location 4 - shannon's or kieran's house: will need scenes of amelie asking her mum and dad about the 'strange noise' coming from the attic. also need to film scenes of jackie (audience thinks is amelie) bizarrely leaving the house (escaping) 
In my opinion it'd be best film in Kierans house as we have the option to include the attic or part of the attic in the scene.

- There are no serious or potential health and safety hazards on this set
- its easy to reach from Fareham college via train.
- we will only need minimal extra things for character building purposes
- will need some sort of dolly to use for some shots - so a office chair?

location 5 - Fareham college: Amelies friends confront her and say she's acting strange towards them - we also see jackie and amelie nearly met accidentally. Amelie becomes paranoid and cannot understand why everyone says she acting negatively towards them.

- There is no need no asking any permission
- we have all available equipment to use - camera, computers, tripods etc
- we have extra characters (amelies friends) so we can use our classmates for those roles
- there are no problems such as transport etc
- there are minimal serious or potential health and safety hazards.
