Locations

1. An open space (school field). This is where we film the first 9 shots. We chose to film the majority of our shots in an open space, this is because it is very stereotypical of teenagers to be out on public greens, such as parks and recreation grounds. Another British stereotypical view of teenagers is that they are out on these spaces causing trouble, for example; under age drinking. This is what our teenagers are doing during these shots, under-age drinking. This is a main convention of a British social realist drama is to have 'taboo subjects' and we think that underage drinking is a big problem in Great Britain and many people try and believe that it doesn't happen as much as people believe it does. We also chose to film outside because we wanted a variety of shots inside and outside to make our film opening more interesting.

2. Inside shots; inside two rooms in a house. This is so that the audience gets an insight into the characters houses and what their lives are like. It also shows the difference between Rosie and Toms home life, and what kind of background they have both come from. Rosie's house is clean and tidy, and on the other hand, Tom's house is messy and not very clean.

In this lesson we are going to go location scouting so that we can see where the best place to shoot our scenes are.
