Location Research and Comparison

In this post i will be looking at the locations we intend to use and how they compare to locations we have seen in other, similar media products.

In the beginning of our film we intend to show our main character Chris waking up in his bed. For this scene we need an average teenagers bedroom.

Some would suspect something similar to the above, a messy room filled with the teenagers various belongings. In our film however the protagonist in not an average teenager and is instead a young carer with a very neat personality. It is because of this difference in personality that i believe Chris would instead have a bedroom similar to the one below.



As well as a Bedroom, in order to try and keep with the convention of very little changes in the location, we only use a Kitchen, Living room, Office and lastly a Garden. Below i have included images of locations which are similar to those that we plan to use.










Each of these play an essential role in showing the audience the characters personality.

Both the Kitchen and the Living room will be dressed in very basic items, such as plain wooden chairs and a small dining room table in the kitchen, and then a small sofa and a relatively cheap television in the living room.

The office in particular needs to tell the audience more about Chris and his personality. We plan to use very few props in this scene along with a dull, greyscale colour scheme in order to show this best.

Lastly, the use of a rose garden is a reference to Chris' mother Rose, the picture above shows what colour rose we plan to use. By having a rose that is starting to lose its colour and turn white, we are able to show the audience that she too is starting to become frail and lifeless.
