Location Recce

Aimee's Sister's Bedroom:
Our opening begins with a shot of the protagonist sitting on the edge of her bed looking forwards. For this we decided to use Aimee's sister's bedroom, as it is a fairly plain room with white walls and white furniture so it will be easy to make it look sparse. The two windows on the opposite wall will allow us to use natural lighting.

Bedroom Door:

Another shot we will film at Aimee's house is the one in which the protagonist is leaning against her bedroom door, stopping someone from coming in. We decided to use the same room as the opening shot to create continuity as the room will have the same colour scheme. As we want this shot to look a lot darker, we will film later in the day to avoid the natural light from the windows.

Aimee's Kitchen:

There is one shot in our opening in which the camera circles around the protagonist inside a kitchen. We decided to use Aimee's kitchen to limit the number of locations we will need to visit, enabling us to film everything in one day. We can also take a lot of stuff off the surfaces to fit the sparse look of the other scenes we will film here.

Aimee's Bathtub:
We are using the bathtub for the scene in which the protagonist submerges herself into the water and the title appears on the screen. The bathtub we have chosen is also in Aimee's house, therefore limiting the locations in which we need to film. This will give us more time to get the shots we need.

Dunton Green Tunnel:
This is for the scene in which the protagonist has ran away from home and is hiding in a tunnel. We chose this because it fits the dirty, dingy look we are aiming for. The white walls will contrast her dark appearance adding to the creepy nature of the scene.

Dunton Green Tunnel Wall:
This is for the scene in which the protagonists face is grasped by an unknown antagonist. This wall is in the tunnel in which we will film the above scene. Although there is limited space within the tunnel, this shot is a close-up so limited space will not affect filming.

Dunton Green Bus Stop:
This bus stop is for the scene in which the camera circles around the protagonist. This is a good location because it is a stereotypical bus stop, demonstrating her vulnerability as a young person alone in public. It is also very close to the tunnel meaning we can film all of these scenes in one shoot.

School Medical Room:
This for the final scene of our opening in which the protagonist is seen to be in a hospital room. This is a convenient location as it in our school and looks like a hospital room.

School Hall:
This is for the scene where she stands on the stage and the camera circles around her. We will put out chairs in the main floor area as well. This is also in school so will be easy to fit in to our shooing schedule.

Park:
This is for the scene in which the camera circles around the protagonist standing in a park. We chose this location because it is close enough to be easily accessible. For this location you can use only natural lighting, reflecting light where needed.

Bridge in Park:
This is a good location as, like with the tunnel, it looks very dingy and has a good view of the river. In this location there may be limited space for filming but we will complete test footage to assess its suitability for the shot we require.
