Continuity Task: Locations

Having planned extensively for our continuity task, we set out to film the short. As a group we had decided upon the locations for the piece, which I forgot to mention in my previous post regarding the continuity task. Firstly, we decided upon the exterior of the Chikara building; the building looked typically school-like and isn't too busy, so therefore we felt this would be a suitable location:-


Chikara Building

This setting would be used for the scenes in which Person A - played by myself - walks towards the classroom aggressively. Next, we chose to have a scene in which my character would look around the corridors, searching for the classroom where Person B was; we decided on the Chikara corridor as this was close to our first location and again, looked like your typical school corridor:-

Our final location was the classroom where the standoff would take place. We decided on the Chikara Drama studios as this was a suitably dramatic location given its black walls and stage-lights; we felt this would act as a sort of 'pathetic fallacy' that would metaphorically reflect the emotionally unstable Person A.

You may have seen my post on location scouting for our final task; thie practice attempt you've seen in this post really helped us as a group in terms of making us appreciate the importance of location. In all honesty, the setting really becomes its own character, and it was important as a group to discuss which locations to use and how this contribute to the final edit...
Next I'll be doing an evaluation of the shooting of our continuity task...
