Settings / Film Loaction Analysis

This is one of the first settings the audience first see as our two main characters walk out the doors together. The school bells ring (non diegetic) as the two walk out the doors. This still shot will be taken on a tripod to prevent shaking and it'll clearly capture the characters surroundings as we'll go on to follow them with the camera, starting with from behind them.

We took lots of different shots of the characters walking so that when we edit it together it can be more interesting than one single held shot.

We used the school grounds as a starting point to
establish their ages straight away in the first scene. The audience will see that they are leaving school and will know that they are teenagers therefore confirming the genre of a teen-angst.

We used a local estate to film the last part of the film. We chose to use this setting at it is quiet and there are a lot of houses around so it shows that they are not at school anymore and this is their life outside of school.

We used these settings as they are stereotypical of the teen-angst genre. This links to our teen-angst research of teen-angst openings.
