Location RecceeBy Ellie Barter

Dance Studio

We have decided to use the dance studio as one of our filming locations as it will show people dancing which is a popular form of exercise/sport among teenagers. This location will allow us to get footage of dancers and even interview them about their choice of sport etc. For mis en scene we would show some of the dance posters on the wall to highlight that this is a dance studio, also this will connote to the audience that the dancers are professional, we could also use this as our location for an expert interview which would also connote to the audience that they are professional and know what they are talking about.

Sports Field

We have decided to use the sports field at our college as one of our filming locations as it would be a perfect place to film students playing sports in their P.E lessons or as part of a sports team. This will also allow us to interview those who chose P.E as an A level or those who choose to participate in sports teams. The mis en scene of this location would show the sports teams playing and the goals and some equipment on the side lines to suggest to the audience that it is a real sports game and the teens are enjoying themselves while playing.

Kick Boxing Gym

We will be using the Kick Boxing gym that Nathan attends as one of our filming locations as it will allow us to film people doing kick boxing and interview them and the trainers to find out further information about the sport and whether they think that education is stopping it. The mis en scene of our shot would show the ring in the background with some equipment as well to suggest to the audience that this is a professional gym and overall a good place to keep fit.

Refectory

We have decided to use our college’s refectory as one of our filming location as it will give us easy access to use students as our vox pops as they will attend college and be able to give their opinion on sport. As this is where most of the students who attend the college go for their breaks this will make our choice of students for our vox pops a lot easier. The mis en scene of this shot would show more students in the background to emphasise that this is a college and it would show the canteen and vending machines to connote that teens don’t have a healthy diet and therefore would need the sport to stay healthy.

Tennis Courts

We have decided to the use the tennis courts at our college as one of our filming locations because we will either be able to show that students do play sports or that they don’t, thus furthering our argument that education is destroying sport. The mis en scene would show people playing tennis in the background to show that some teens do play sport this would make the audience think that teens do sport however we would then show another shot that suggests the opposite to show the reality.

Bike Sheds

We have decided to use our college’s bike sheds as one of our filming locations because we will be able to show students riding their bikes and then use them as our vox pops to ask them about sport and whether this is the only exercise they do and whether they only do it to get to college and back. The mis en scene of the shot will do bikes and people riding in and out of the bike shed on their bikes, this will connote to the audience that teens do exercise but we could put some stats or a contradictory shot after to show that not that many teens do sport.

Boxing Gym

We have decided to use Hall Green Boxing Gym as one of our filming locations as we will be able to interview the boxing coach here and get some footage of some of the equipment being used to show some teenagers exercising. The mis en scene of the interview will show the ring and some equipment in the background to signify to the audience that this is professional gym with good equipment and that it is a good thing that teens come here to exercise.
