The document discusses plans to film scenes for a student film. It will film most scenes at Ratcliffe College, including scenes in the school's pool, woods, and corridors. One scene will be filmed at Liv Back's house, where her mother will supervise. The pool is suitable for drowning shots and the woods can create isolation. Risk assessments are in place, including a lifeguard for pool scenes. Locations were chosen for narrative and budget reasons, with each location suiting its planned scene.

2.  We are filming all but one scene at school, Ratcliffe
College. This includes, the pool, woods and school
corridor:

4. We want to use the school’s pool for
the drowning shots. We think that
this would be suitable because its
practical for all of our cast and its
very well lit due to the exterior of the
building being like a conservatory
and it therefore lets in a lot of light.
As we plan on filming on a weekend,
this means that the pool is likely to
not be used during the day.
-In our risk assessment, we are
making sure that we have a life guard
on set just incase anything might
happen to one of us or the cast. We
will make sure they have a legitimate
qualification and are fully aware of
everything that we want to achieve in
the water.

5. We are planning on using
the wooded area on
Ratcliffe’s grounds.
This is suitable for our
film as we wanted to
heighten the main
character’s feeling of
isolation. Also if we film
close to sun set we can
get really nice natural
light coming through the
trees.

6. As we want our film to be
relatable, we thought that the
school corridor would be best
suited. We want to film people
walking down the corridor so
the best time to do this would
be during break or lunch at
school.

7. We thought that Liv’s room would be suitable for the scene when the main
character wakes up from her nightmare because it’s quite girly and pink which is
stereotypical for a girl’s room and therefore appealing for our audience.
We are using the binary oppositions of life vs. death as the main character is
obviously alive whereas her friends aren’t. We could also look at this in a way
which the main character is dead on the inside (she hasn’t slept for days, she’s
almost “zombie-like”) but everything on the outside is full of life, (eg. Her room
has a lot of colour, has a sense of living)

8.  There are more risks when at the pool because
the floor will be wet so we need to watch out
for not getting any equipment wet or damaged
and we need to be careful when walking
around the edge of the pool.
 In the woods there will be risks of tripping
over branches so we need to wear sensible
footwear to prevent anyone getting hurt.

9.  As we are an independent film company on a low budget, we feel
that all of there locations are perfect for us because they are all
easy access and we don’t have to pay anyone for filming in these
areas.
 As for narrative suitability, each location suits each scene; the
woods to connote isolation and the loneliness she feels, the pool
because her friends died from drowning, the corridor because it is
part of a school to which she is trying to carry out her daily life
and the bedroom as she has dreamt about the killing.
