Locations

We set our Film inside a school. This is because it is a setting recognisable to the audience and also is a key part to the narrative later on, past the opening. It needed to be an empty school however, this is because i wanted to create atmosphere and tension which would create suspense as the audience is waiting for something to happen. Therefore we new we would have to film during a quiet period, so we filmed during lesson time. This gave us only specific times to film, but was easy enough to get this time because of free periods our crew and cast had.

Our first location was a corridor and stairway. We wanted there to be Windows in the stairway as it would give a brief view of the location around the school as the audience will need bits they can recognise later on in the movie. The stair way we found seemed very suitable and had a good amount of flights of stairs to work with. It also has blank walls. It gives the feel of being unknown, and confusing as not much is being revealed. It can also show the characters confusion to where he is and what is happening.

We also needed a hall for our second scene. This would need to be a sports hall as sport would be a part of the Main Protagonists life in the narrative . We found a hall at our school very useful. It had basketball nets on the wall and court markings on the floor which the Audience will easily recognise as a sports hall. It was very big too which was use full for the shots we wanted to include E.G. Extreme Long Shots.
The hall is good also because it is big and spacious. This makes the two characters feel isolated and will create a spooky atmosphere with just the two being there alone. It will also create more tension between the two.

This is the Accident and Emergency section of a local hospital. It is used in our media to show the danger and the exposition of how our Protagonist got into his coma and his current situation he is in.
