Location and Set

We both had a few ideas for the location of our task, including:
                                                                                                     Drama studio in school
                                                                                                      Dawns house ( my mums boss' house)
                                                                                                      Jenny's outhouse ( my auntie)
After asking my mums boss for her permission to use one of the rooms in her house we set up what the room would look like. After toying around with a few different ideas of where to place certain things and lighting we finally decided on a set.
 It was a large room with cream carpet and red walls with wooden furniture. The room was perfect for our piece as it had two big wooden doors painted white which were essential for our sequence, the red walls also gave quite a dramatic effect along side our lighting as they made the room quite dark.. The main light was able to be swung so it added a whole new dimension to the atmosphere of the room.
The chair we used was originally a Chinese torcher chair, so in actual fact we couldn't have gotten anything better.
The benefits of filming in a house is that we were able to look after our actors better than anywhere else as there was food and drink supplied by Dawn ( the owner of the house ) and there was a toilet so the actors were happy to come back for a second day of filming. We used a total of 4 and a half hours to film all the shots we needed.
The peach two seat couch was not used in the sequence but the large round table to the left was put in the dead centre of the background.
