This will be Tashana’s bathroom it will be used for the opening scene of our short film where Anastasia is coming out of the shower and brushing her teeth. This is also where the title of the film will be written on the mirror. The lighting from the window could present an issue, but we are not going to be filming towards the light we will be filming away from it facing the shower. The tripod and camera will be placed next to the toilet so that we could get our shot correct. Our next shot will be an over the shoulder shot, however the camera will have to be handheld to get the actress perfectly in the frame. This will be Evie-may’s kitchen it will be used for the second shot where Joseph is making his breakfast and dancing before he leaves the house. We will work with natural lighting but if that doesn’t give off the light needed we will use artificial. We will take the shot from three different angles. In the first one the tripod will be placed opposite the kitchen so we could get a full body shot, the second will be the angle in which the picture to show his dancing more closely and the third will be a close up of him putting the toast in the toaster. This bench is where the most important part of the short film will be. This is where all 3 characters cross paths and judge each other based on stereotypes, it will start with Edward sitting on the bench reading his newspaper and Joseph will join him then Anastasia will walk past. We will shoot in daylight and place the camera directly opposite the bench so that we have a long shot of both characters. We will also experiment with other angles to see which one suits the scene best. This is the hallway Anastasia will be in when she’s struggling to put on her shoes and realizes she is running late for work. There could be an issue with lighting but we could get around that by not directing the camera at the light for this scene we will use long shots and close ups. The long shot is to show her struggling as she puts her shoes on and the close up is to show the time and her facial expression as she realizes she is running late. This public toilet is for Edwards opening scene where he is getting ready for what the audience thinks is work. We will use both the natural and artificial light in this scene and it will be shot close up to not give away that it is a public toilet so the audience thinks it is his bathroom at home. We will also have a long shot of him carrying a little suitcase which is our subtle hint that he is homeless. This area of greenery is for the end scene where we find out Edward is homeless and this is where he has been staying. It’s also where the audience get an insight on how he became homeless as he will have a picture on him which will come alive and show him losing his job and wife. This scene will be shot in natural light and it will consist of close ups and long shots. A close up of the picture and a long shot to show him sitting in the grass, fighting with his wife and getting fired.
