The document discusses different locations that were filmed for a documentary project, including the common room where subjects would relax and work, the classroom where auditions and interviews were held to provide varied shots, and the principal's office which offered contrast and showed him in his natural role to lend credibility to his advice. Locations were chosen to keep interactions natural and reactions relaxed while providing an interesting variety of shots.

2. The common room
was used for our „fly
on the wall‟ footage as
this is where our
“subjects” relax and
have fun. This wasn‟t
a pre-selected
location, rather we
found that our
subjects naturally
gravitated towards
this area, so in order
to keep their
interactions natural
we simply filmed them
as they were.

3. This is the „work area‟
within the common
room, where our cast
were writing their
personal statements.
This area was again
selected by the girls
as this is where they
wanted to complete
their work. Again we
allowed the girls to
chose where they
wanted to work in
order for them to give
the most relaxed
reactions to which we
filmed around them as
they worked.

4. The class room was
used to conduct
auditions as well as
other interviews, this
was done so that the
video extract would
offer a wider variety
of shots in order to
keep the viewers
interested in the
smaller „subinterviews.‟

5. We asked to film Mr Suter in
his office, as not only did it
contrast with the previous
interview area, but it allowed
the viewer to see Mr Suter in
his “natural environment”.
This was important as it
further projects the idea that
he is important within his field
and is official within the
school – so the advice he
gives would be useful and
worth-while. Again this is also
contrasts the type of
interview we conducted with
set questions of which we prewarned him so his answers
weren‟t as spontaneous as
the girls.
