Locations: Scouting and Choices

Subsequent to all of our story and narrative planning, it was now time for planning the actual production of our film. This is quite an exciting phase of our whole production because we can precisely choose what aspects and features we could include in our film.

The film will begin with Jamil on his way to school on a bus. We decided to shoot this at the 38 bus stop in Victoria Station. This would be most convenient because it is the first bus stop in the route and boarding on the first bus stop means that there will not be anyone else on  the bus, giving us a perfect opportunity to shoot the introduction.




The second scene is when the student encounters the teacher and eventually accidental kills him. For this we don't really need a very demanding location because of the scene's focus on the actual content. We decided that a narrow corridor in the school which isn't busy would be appropriate. The corridor we chose is effective because there are lights at the top and we can shoot a variety of camera angles here.

The third scene is when the student goes into the CCTV room to remove evidence of the murder which ends up in the student being knocked out by his friend. Fortunately, our school has their own CCTV security room and we can use this to make it feel very realistic.




The last scene would be the death of the student and the teacher having his revenge. The locations for this would be by the exit of the school. Before this point in the film, most of the film would be filmed in doors. We want this scene to be outside as it will provide a vibrant atmosphere. The effect this would have on the scene is making the outside look bigger and making Jamil look more vulnerable.
