The document discusses several potential filming locations for scenes in a film project, including a green screen room, living room, kitchen, school lab, children's bedroom, outdoor street area, abandoned offices, and school basement. For each location, it provides a description, intended purpose, advantages, disadvantages, and things to be aware of during production. It indicates whether or not the location will be used. The school basement is suggested as an alternative to the abandoned offices for filming zombie scenes due to issues with accessing and permissions for the abandoned building.
