Location Decision

We decided to film our continuity piece indoors as lighting from the outside can change very quickly and is very unreliable. Filming indoors will let us film whenever we wanted to as we can keep the variable factor of lighting constant. We did have limitations when choosing where to film because the equipment we were using was not insured so we had to keep the camera in the school premises.

Eventually we decided to film in a very wide corridor on the ground floor of our school. We chose this because barely anyone walks through this corridor which allows us to film in the corridor whenever we wanted o without any hassle. Also, the fact that the corridor is very wide allows us to use our wide shots and long shots effectively as we have the space to position the camera and keep all our characters in one shot. A very good advantage of using the wide corridor in our school was that it will help emphasise the theme of our piece (gritty thriller) because the corridor was slightly gloomy which looked very effective when watching it back.
