Locations

I have thought a little more about the locations I am going to use for my short film. In present time, the main location is the boys office/sitting at his desk. However, other locations will be used for the "memories" that the boy reminisces whilst drawing.

1. The Office. This is a setting which is constantly flicked back to, as it is the place that stems all the memory reminiscing. I wanted my male character to have a main desk area in order to show that he has a creative personality, and the sketching is a personal hobby his. It is a fairly basic room - which is not too modern so that I will be sticking to my "timeless effect".

2. The Park. The first memory involves a picnic, and the playing of Frisbee. To be conventional, I wanted this to take place in a park. A local park of mine, Nowton Park, I feel will be the perfect place to film. It is large, so I will not have to worry about trying to film in crowded places, and is very green and pretty with old-built bridges for streams >

3. The Lounge. The second memory takes place in my lounge! The main reason for choosing this location was that it is easily access-able  being in my home, but also has the look I am trying to go for. I will literally only be filming the sofa - which is brown and leather. I feel as though brown leather is quite a classic sofa thus the time setting would not be made obvious.I wanted my film to seem more realistic, and simply watching TV replicates real life relationships more than many other things which the romance genre frequently present.

4. The Kitchen. The third and final memory is set in my kitchen. Again, this is convenient but also as the right sort of style. Our kitchen has not yet been decorated to a modern style so it's currently pretty classic - wooden cupboards etc. As with the lounge location, the use of a kitchen and washing up also reflects real relationships, that the audience are more likely to be able to relate to.
