Locations

In our preliminary film, we shot it in and around Harry's house. This worked well so we agreed to use it again. It is a very versatile place to film as it could be seen as a quiet village, or the outskirts of a town. We also have very good access as it is literally one minute away from school so we can film at lunch times and in study periods etc. His parents both work 9-5 jobs so there is no problem rearranging a few things or setting up lights and other bits. Also there would be no interruption.

We agreed in words that the film would start outside, then end inside. As we looked further into it we noted down what cars were where at what time outside his house to plan continuity and framing for shots. Our character walks down the path and into the house- it was agreed.

The character would enter through the front door for easy access to the living room. The living room was a really good place to set our film because it has lots of antique clocks which could link to our film with the whole concept of time running out.

These were the two locations we planned to use.

Others were debated, such as the alley way used in the preliminary, but the two we had chosen were the best to suit our film.
