2. For our short film we only needed two locations, which is in a house and outside a house. For this we had to decide on whose house would be
more appropriate to film as we had to look into the noise structure. We tested out Emmanuel's house for our short film and decided that it was
not suitable for the following reasons; There is too much noise going on outside as there is a park round the corner which means that you can
hear children in the park also occasionally hear dogs barking as they will be walking pass including their dog owners when they dogs are being
called. There is also a local school nearby which means students would often have to walk this way to get to the bus stop, which means there
would be even more noise. There is not a lot of wildlife to be seen as Emmanuel's house is not allocated in the woods however there is birds,
which means that you can hear the chirping in the background. We also looked into the inside of Emmanuel’s house as a bedroom is needed for
the first person, we then discovered that there would be a few issues in filming inside as Emmanuel has a baby brother which means that we will
be able to hear noises from him as we cannot predict when he will start crying also the room had to be a teenagers girl room fortunately Emanuel
doesn’t have a teenage sister so if we did film in their it wouldn’t be realistic.
We then decided that Emmanuel’s house wasn’t appropriate and moved on to my house we discovered that when filming outside we would
end up hearing trains going pass every 5-10 minutes which means that we have to be weary of the time scale when filming outside. There is a
road nearby but it is hardly used which means we will not hear constant car engines driving pass, however it is mainly used around 7 in the
morning then 3 in the afternoon as there is a primary school down the road this will not affect us recording as we have too recorded during the
evening time when its dark. Also there is street lights which is perfect as we don’t want to film when is too dark as you won’t be able to see
anything on camera. When looking inside of my house we had to focus on the noise and how good the lighting would be in the house the first
room was the computer room which rarely quiet only having problems as the lighting is not good so we have to bring in lamps to improve the
lighting as we cannot get natural light as there is no windows in the room. The next room where the film will be filmed is my bedroom as the
room will represent the character as it is a teenage girl’s room. As the room has a powerful light the can be used to help with lighting however
you cannot adjust the light and may have to result in only using natural light when filming.
The best location that we have all agreed on was my house. This is because of numerous factors, one main point was because of the noise
level in the area is quiet which means that we will have no unwanted sound in the film, also when filming outside the lighting is ideal having
the street lamps be located around the part we are filming. I took pictures of what the locations would look like when filming.
3. Potential Hazard Location Who is at Risk? How are you going to make
sure it doesn’t happen?

Outside the house - When its raining we are
going to bring umbrellas to
protect the equipment so it

sometime umbrellas will
not help protect the
equipment.

4. Main locations
The street lights will help the
crewmembers to be able to see
the shot list and schedule. Also it
helps with lighting however its not
adjustable so if the bright becomes
too lightning the shot we would
have to move away to dim the
lights.
5. Actors
Name; Sasha
Age; 17
Location; London
Sasha Is acting as one of the min
characters called ‘Mel’ The reason
why Sasha is acting as this character
is that she is very like he character
so she can relate and understand
the person.
Name; Isobel
Age; 17
Location; London
Isobel is playing the character ‘ Gina’ the
reason why I chose Isobel to be Mel's best
friend is because Isobel and Sasha are very
close which means that they don’t have to
act the friendship its genuine so the
audience will be able to relate and become
attach and understand the friendship bond
they have.

6. The only prop that we will need is the phone as the phone is the main key
for the audience to understand what life was life before all this through
pictures. The equipment that we will be needed would be cameras,
tripod, lighting equipment,
Props and equipment
7. Costumes Molly
Moly's outfit is just a white
gown that’s dirty this is because
she has escaped form the
asylum so that the cloths she
wears are smoke and plain. This
reflects her personality as she is
very quiet and not confident at
all
Gina is wearing a girly outfit this is
because she is very popular which
means that she keeps up with the
latest trends. The red lipstick
shows how confident she is and it
also makes her stand out as well.
This means that we don’t have to
pay for Gina costumes as Sasha
clothes that’s fits the personality
and character of Gina
Mel outfit is complete different to
mels as her outfit is tom boyish, this is
why they're best friends because they
are totally opposite, The reason why
she is wearing these specific clothes is
because it shows she is into fashion
and is different form others showing
her creative side. .
