The document describes experiments conducted to plan shots for a movie opening. Photos were taken of various locations at St. Anne's school, including the math corridor, toilets, and doors, to scout angles and lighting for different shots. Test photos were taken of a person in the toilet mirror and with doors open and closed to ensure the proper shots could be captured. Locations were chosen from Google Images searches and replicated through photos to match ideas for the film.

CORRIDOR’
Location: St. Anne’s school

maths corridor
As inspiration for our locations, we used Google images to search for
images that were similar to the ideas we had in our minds as a group.
When we had found several images, we chose the best one and
attempted to create a location similar to that in the photograph. The image
on the left is what we decided on after searching Google Images. We then
created a similar photograph which is shown on the right.

3. ‘MENTAL INSTITUTION
CORRIDOR’
Lights on Lights off
Location: St. Anne’s school maths corridor
To experiment with lighting, we took images with the lights on and off to
see which would look better. As we initially thought, the location looks
better and suits our movie opening more when the lights are off.

4. THE TOILET
Location:
St.Anne’s school toilet Source: Google Images
This angle will need to be used in Shot four along with this location. This
is why we experimented taking an image of the location with a person
standing there, to ensure that we include the correct angle when filming
and to make sure that the video camera is not seen whilst filming
through the mirror. A similar experiment was done using a video camera
which is also uploaded on our blogs. Shot four is similar to the
photograph featured on the right when the main character looks into the
mirror and sees her Dad appear. This is why we chose the image on the
right as an example. However, the facial expression of the character will
be different to the character shown in the image of the right.

5. DOORS
Location: St. Anne’s toilet doors Location: St. Anne’s corridor double doors
Doors are used in shot sever as the character runs out of the
toilets. At first, we decided to film the character running out of the
toilets and use the actual toilet doors. However, due to a problem
that occurred when filming (described in the filming diary), we were
unable to use this door and therefore had to use the door pictured
on the right.

6. DOORS
Closed
Location: St. Anne’s maths corridor doors
Location: St. Anne’s school toilet doors
We took multiple images of both doors
to get a variety of angles and also to
Open
distinguish between the doors when
they’re opened and closed.
