Location Planning

The reason that I need to plan the location of my film is that not every place in the school is accessible or suitable. By this, I mean that during the times I have to film the 'Knock Knock' footage, I do not have access to the classrooms that are in use for teaching. I therefore need to see what classrooms I have available during my filming time-frame. When this is done, I then need to look into which of these available classrooms are suitable for the film. I need to look at aspects such as the space that is required in my film, the lighting of the classroom and the position of the windows, the background in the room and accessibility from corridors and/or staircases. Following this short paragraph is examples of some suitable locations for the film and some that are not. Although the examples here are not final, it will give us a rough indication of what requirements a room should meet.

This location is not suitable for the film as it

is a small area with limited movement 

available. Also there is too much equipment

in the way so you wouldn't be able to see the

characters very well.

The staircase is not suitable as we do not
require anyone walking up the stairs, we
start the film on the top floor.

This corridor is suitable for the location of
our film, we plan to have a character walk
up the corridor. This corridor is wide enough
and has access to the classrooms we have
available.

This is a suitable location for the knock
knock joke as we need an area that will seat
2 people to tell a joke. Also, there is enough
room for a camera man to film.

This is a picture that shows the whole of the
room we plan to use. The reason we like this
room is because of the amount of space we
have available.
