The document outlines several locations that will be used in a short film about a girl named Jade dealing with the death of her mother Carol. The locations include woodlands, a study area in the school, the headteacher's office, the school entrance, and corridors. These locations will use different lighting techniques like natural lighting or low lighting to represent Jade's emotions and move the plot forward, from happy scenes before her mother's death to sadder scenes after.
