Setting a location

 

    So me and my partner have been trying to gradually and carefully piece together more and more components to finally be able to create our film. One part we are figuring out right now is the location, we want the setting to reflect the life of a typical teenager.

    In order to accomplish conveying the idea that we are focusing the film on a teenage girl we will film in areas that look like such. So, we have planned to begin filming in my room, since I am a teenage girl my room will most likely give off the vibes we are aiming to accomplish. Along with my room we will also most likely film in a car and the school, Cypress Bay. The scenes we'd like to include in my room is before the girl is going to school and she is getting ready, she will be getting ready in "her" room in front of a long mirror. We want to accomplish this shot by trying many times and looking up many tutorials in order to succeed in filming this scene without showing the camera in the mirror when the girl is getting ready. We want to get the shots of our character getting ready in front of a mirror because we want the audience to know what she is thinking, and the best way to deliver this is to have our character speak to herself in the mirror. We will show her room in the mirror and through establishing shots before. 

    We also will include the school and the car as shots for our location. We will have a car shot of our character most likely gazing out the window while doing a voice over thinking of what she is excited or scared for on her way to the school. When we finally arrive at the school we will Cypress Bay High School as our setting high school. Our character will approach the school and we will try to accomplish a shot that encompasses the whole school from the top to the bottom to our character.
