Early location photography

Exterior shot- Car park next to school
- This is where the main character and the love interest first meet
- May be interrupted by busy surroundings like cars trying to move in or out
- We will need a few extras scattered around because this scene is set at the beginning of the school day, so they should be making their way to class/ registration



Exterior shot- front of school
- Main character looks up at school, we see an establishing shot
- Make sure there are no cars blocking the view of the camera
- Prevent branches from blocking the view





Interior shot- corridor by labs
- This is where we meet the main character's friend, as the lead gets lost in the corridor, and the friend comes along and helps her
- Make sure people aren't walking through whilst we are filming
- There are large windows on one side of the corridor, with no blinds, so controlling the lighting could be tricky


Interior shot- Science Lab #1
- This is where the sequence will probably end, the main character comes into the science lab and has no choice but to sit next to the romantic interest
- We need extras to fill the seats
- Might need to possibly put the blinds down on the windows at the back, to prevent the audience from seeing people walk past
- We need to get the teacher's permission to use this room due to safety reasons

Interior shot- Science Lab #2
- I like the layout of this lab more, it's more open and you can get a view of the entire space more easily
- Same queries as above







Interior shot- Gym
- Where a PE lesson would take place, main character isn't too great at sports
- Bad acoustics, echo occurs very easily
- Need to book the space
- Don't want intrusion of sound from people walking past the hall, the sound carries easily


Interior shot- Common Room
- We could have a scene where most of the year would be hanging out
- It would have to be more homely, i.e. more cushions, brighter throw blankets
- Make sure it's free to use
- Need extras to scatter around the room
- Needs to be lived in but not messy
