Loactions

For each of my produced, I feel that the location is important in highlighting the soap to the audience. This means that choosing the right location is important in making sure that the soap appeals to the audience and puts over the theme of the soap. Being that the soap is set in a school; the trailer will take place in a school along with this I plan on taking the photos for the poster and magazine in a similar location. The trailer is set in a corridor and I when and took different photo of possible locations of both produced, so that I can make sure that I pick the right location to put over the soap.

This location would work well as it was quiet and I need to make sure that the location will be right for filming. However with this it is a small corridor and would not be a lot of room for movement.

Part of the location for the film is set out side and this could be a good location and puts over the school setting and highlight the way in which he is alone. However this location was very noise and would not work for a film location. Through this could location could be used for the photographs for the magazine and photos as it would be able to highlight the setting and what the soap is about.

This location would also be used for the outside and I found that it was quieter and having the empty beaches would show the isolation of the character. This location could also be used for the photographs but dose not put over the fact that’s it set in a school.

This corridor would be used for most of the film and clearly putting over the setting. However the lighting is not as effect as in the other locations and the movement would not work as well. I felt that taking the photos here would not mach the location in the trailer, meaning that the audience would not see the link between the different products.

This location would be used the photographs being that it puts over the location to the audience and allow them to get an idea of the type of soap that is being advertised. Through to get the whole front of the school would mean that the photo would have to be a wide long shot which would mean that the characters are not clear.

I found that this location would be good for filming being that it was quiet and would allow us to put over all the movement need and put over the characters to the audience. I could also use this location of the photos allowing me to show the location and the characters to the audience. Through with this location I will need to cheek the over head lighting to make sure that it had the right effect being that it could create the wrong shadows.

Here the corridor is long compared to the others and would give us more movement. However the spacing between the doors might not work when panning and the green wall dose not fit in with our target audience being that it creates a childish feel. Using this location for the photos would allow putting over the location but then the colours might not put over the soap.
