Location Reece Library: Antigona Saraci

The document discusses filming a student film in a school library location. It was chosen as an alternative to a park location that did not work out. The library provided a suitable setting that fit the film's genre and the main character's stereotypical personality. It allowed them to film without costs in a controlled environment where they could arrange furniture as needed. Test shots were taken of pans and actors' positioning to plan the filming and ensure an effective setup in the library setting.

Location Reece

Library
Antigona Saraci
Due to certain circumstances unfortunately it meant that we were unable to shoot
our film in the park. Therefore, we decided that the library would be another
location we could use in order to fit well with our genre. We decided to shoot our
film in the library as it created a good effective for our film. Our main
protagonist fulfils this view of a typical geek so therefore the library was suitable
for his character. Stereotypically society assumes that there are typical types of
people who would mostly go to the library. Also we chose this location because of
what it could provide; the space was big enough in order for us to film our
production. Furthermore we did not have to pay any money in order to film our
production in this location, because our school was more than happy to let us film
our product in our school library. This meant that we were saving much more on
our budget. This also meant that we could control many means of the library such
as re-arranging most of the furniture the way we wished them to be, and the
people in the library were aware of our filming so meant that the sounds of
members in and around the library area were better controlled.
At the start we thought of filming our product in a public library but these
variables were issues which we considered which is why we decided to shoot our
product in our school, unlike the park, this one raised no complaints/issues and
therefore saved us time.
 
Panning Shot…
This is a panning shot which we did a trial
run before filming our product. We
wanted to use this panning shot in order
to introduce the scene and let the
audience know where it is set. We filmed
the panning shot from the entrance of the
library all the way round, we discussed
whether in the final stage whether we
need to pan from the entrance or not, this
allowed us to see whether the way the
library Is set a panning shot will be
effective.
Long Shot…
This is video of where the actors are going to be
sat, so we have Nabil facing Aldo and Sarah. We
decided to do this due to the act that we have Lilly
walking in front of him so in order for him to see
Lilly he has to have a clear view of where she's
going to be.

This a shot of how the tables in the library are set out
for the film. We set them out in manner in which it
allows us to concentrate on the 180 degree rule not to
be mistaken. Also the tables have a bright colour red
for the stands which is effective as it reflects to the
romantic part of the story.
At the start of the film, during the
panning shot we decided to have
Lilly walking around the library in
order to show her presence at the
beginning of the movie. We want
to have Lilly wondering around the
library looking for romantic books,
we decided to use this scene as the
book selves in the library are not
very high, so therefore this is
effective as we can notice Lilly’s
presence easily.
