Location Research

If possible we will try get some filming done at our school, to conform to a stereotypical teen movie. If not feasible, we will just set the film in Summer.

If we do go ahead with a couple shots of the school in order to conform to a teen movie, we will base some shots in either a classroom. or crowded area.

Due to a low budget for our film trailer, we will use public places such as fields and train stations, along with shots coming from the actors' homes.

So far from our filming, the locations we have gotten are as follows:

 1. Ashtead Common
2. West Wittering Beach
3. Eleanor Smith's home
4. Scenic shots of Brazil
5. Portsmouth
6. London
7. Brighton

Trailers usually corporate several scenic locations, therefore the location is not of a big worry as the more locations better, but obviously it is important to carry through a main location, which most likely be an indoor situation.



These are some photographs taken at the locations we have filmed in during the time.

 The shots taken at the beach will be used for the dream sequence at the start of the trailer.
 This will progress later into the trailer with scenic shots of other areas such as Brighton Beach, and Ashtead Common.

The shots taken in Ashtead Common so far will focus on the protagonist and her alone time, her independence while growing up, whereas shots like the one to the left here is more for the cinematography, not the story line.










So far, we have filmed the protagonist cycling through a field, having a deep conversation with her bestfriend, and several scenic shots. The common is a successful place to film if we want to inhabit that of an indie coming-of-age teen movie as nature is always key to being "indie".













This shot is of two potential characters in our trailer, however of the lesser importance, more so used as extra's which may help the story fold together. During my photoshoot for my photography class, I managed to film a couple shots of the two subject's relationship together, just simply being around eachother, this may go towards our trailer if there is a suitable part.
