After looking around multiple locations for where we should do
each scene, we came to the conclusion that for the scene where Joe
burns his work, we should use an open outdoor area. This area is
located in a field near my housed, it was a good site for the
burning scene as it was quiet and is the right sort of setting for
the story. Since we chose this outdoor area it allowed us to use
interesting shots and meant that we were able to have a fire in
safe conditions and be able to film the shots without being
disturbed. We then needed to choose where we wanted to film the
maths scene, after looking at a couple of classrooms we decided to
go for a small one.
These were examples of different classrooms that we initially
thought we could use for filming the maths scene. We decided to
look around at different classrooms because we were told that we
would struggle to be able to film in an actual maths room. However
we kept inquiring and eventually we managed to get an hours use of
a maths room out of college hours that we could use to make the
mise-en-scene look as realistic as possible.We also had to decide
on a location for whereabouts we could film the main characters
bedroom. After looking at Jacks and Daniels bedrooms we decided to
use Jacks room due to the amount of space we would have. It allowed
us to use interesting camera shots from a variety of angles and
allowed us to set it up so that it looked neat and ordered. We were
also able to create a good shot of Joe looking out the window down
onto the road and the car parked on an angle.
