Location and Props

The location for our filming was very important, as we needed to insure that we filmed somewhere we knew well and somewhere safe as we were responsible for our actors as well, therefore it was important that we didn't make them act from a place that they could easily slip or fall etc. After deliberation, we decided that the best place for us to film would definitely be our Sixth Form block, as my whole group knew good areas to film. There is a strong barrier on the stairwell where I leant over holding the camera and filmed from that angle, and there is a cupboard downstairs in one of the classrooms where we put Amy as we thought it fitted in perfectly with our idea. We had plenty of filming space and room to practise different shots in the classrooms as they are made to seat a minimum of thirty people.

We ended up using minimal props, just a black piece of material to gag Amy with, and a 'No Entry' sign that we asked if we could borrow for the evening. Other than that, we just kept everything else that was in the shot, tables and whiteboards that were in classrooms etc.
