Plantsbrook School Corridor: 

We chose this location as it is easily accessible to us and is better suited to our requirement. This corridor is shaped like a T-Junction which meant that we could get the lockers into the scene which symbolise the school and the extra corridor meant that the camera man/woman was able to stand out of the way without being cramped which gives the best results in a spacious recording area.


After school was the most efficient time of day for us to film as it was still light enough for us to film and this is the time the school corridors are least busy.

When filming the risks we may have to overcome will be people walking past during filming as it is in a school which is generally very busy. As well as this we had a problem with the lighting and background noise as, even though the school children may have left, there were a lot of cleaners hoovering and doing light checks.

Plantsbrook reception:
This is our chosen 'work' location as it is a reception and therefore can persuade the audience that this is the location of Charlie's workplace in which the collision takes place in the first scene.

Contrasting to the corridor scene, this time we chose to film during a media lesson. Our reasoning for this is that as the pupils will be in lesson there is less likeliness for students to be walking through the shot. If such a disturbance does occur it will add to the effect that it is a busy work place. We shall be filming between 2:05 and 3:05 in this location so the lighting will be good for filming and it will not be too dark.

Dawn's bedroom:
This room will be altered so that it will look younger e.g, have teddy bears and younger looking bedspread. This will show the audience that the time of the scene has changed and it is now a flash back from when Charlie was younger. We plan to film this after school again as it is convenient for all cast and crew; it also is being film at the time the scene would be taking place so the lighting would be appropriate.

Georgina's bedroom:

In this scene we shall make the room look older to represent that the main character, Charlie, has grown up and is no longer a little girl. This venue seemed appropriate as it has the stereotypes you would expect of a grown up business woman's bedroom such as: a double bed with plain sheets, make up on the desk and a jewellery stand. There is also a full length mirror which fits the stroyline as a key scene revolves around the transition between Charlie's younger and older self through a 18degree rotation into the mirror. It is also very easily accessible to us with flexible timing.As a result, we decided this would be the ideal venue for this scene.
