Recce

Another location that we will be using is Crucible Park. This is the location that we will be using for the scene where we see the character's state after spending so long in a place where there seems to be no one. This location is suitable as a lot of people like going to the park and we feel that we can demonstrate the contrast of a busy park to a not busy park. We will be filming this in the morning as ther won't be a lot of people around. There will only be the actor and the director in the scene so we may not take too long there. The character mostly stays in one area meaning there won't be an issue in terms of running into things, However, there is a bit where he walks out, meaning that we will make sure that there is a clear space where he is walking.
One of our main locations that we will be using is the school. This would be where we will be filming the montage, where we would be able to display the emptiness of places. Also, we will be having our two main scenes filmed in the school. The first will be a classroom, where the character would appear alone. This location would be suitable in terms of conveying how someone may react to being alone in a late place. Another would be room 30, which is a drama studio. The reason for this location is due to how we can make the studio appear to be a room. There were access to couches and chairs that we can use and we can adjust the lights the way we would want it to be.
