Location analysis

The boyfriends houseThis is the boys bedroom, where all of the scenes from his house will be filmed. We liked the idea of using this room for the scene gets really

mad and starts throwing things around as the room as it is quite

compact, and full of things that the boy would clearly care about,

therefore suggesting to the audience that this was an impulsive act and he has lost all care for what

he has. Using an actual boys bedroom really helps with the props we used, as it already looks like a

lived in room, and makes the scene more realistic, as they would see

the room as relatable.

The schoolThese are the three main areas of the school

that we will be showing in our media production, they are the 16+ area, the science classroom

and the corridor. We wanted to use the 16+ area as it was a really public space, and it will show the poor state of mind the boyfriend was in and

how little he cares about his own pride when trying to get answers out of his ex. We used the corridor as we felt it would be good to show the

frantic search of him looking for the guy who has been seeing his girlfriend, and when he does finally find him in a science class we felt the

room would be good as the fight would have to be very controlled due to the lack of space, and

we wouldn't have to move much around, allowing us to get good camera angles of what

happens.

The girlfriends houseThis is the girls bedroom, and most of the scenes that require the girl will be filmed in here. Again we think this room works

well because it is an actual girls bedroom, and has the looks of a room that

someone spends a lot of time in. The area pictured at the bottom will be used in the scenes where the girl is pacing the floor, trying to decide wether to text the boyfriend about the breakup, we like this space because it will be good for getting

different camera angles, and show movement in the shot by using tracking

shots of her pacing, the bed however allows for us to film her sitting or lying,

meaning that we can get different levels, keeping the shots fluid and moving.

The shopsThis is the area we will use in the final scene to show the boy and girl

walking past each other way after the break up has happened. We wanted an open space that was away from anywhere else we had

filmed for our media piece. We chose to do this because if we filmed in the school then it may look as though it was a memory of the past, and

wouldn't show what we want, which is that he has learnt to move on from the pain of the break up. We wanted it to be a busy area rather than any street to show that despite her always standing out in the

crowd to him, she is becoming one of the public, and she isn't the only thing he sees in a crowd anymore.

The parkThis is the park that we are using for the scene with the big group where the boy starts chatting up

an un willing friend. We wanted to use this park because it had a

shelter that we could show them all sitting in, and would connote

that they meet here a lot and that this is the area where the group hang out. We liked the idea of using the shelter because we

could still film if it was raining as it was covered, the rain may be

good for connoting the miserable atmosphere and the boys

unhappiness in himself over what hes doing.
