Location Brainstorming

Doing a plot that includes numerous different locations is certainly going to be a big challenge. According to the screenplay, there are five different locations that we need to film at. I thought I should do some brainstorming so that we can get on track with our timeline and begin filming ASAP!

1. Stevie's Bedroom
This location will appear the most throughout the film, so I know the lighting has to be decent and the mise-en-scene elements need to be aligned with a teenage girl. I was thinking we could film in my friend Irina's room, who may or may not also be starring in the film (Spoiler alert). I will get photos of this location on the blog as soon as possible.

2. Volleyball Court
For this location, I was just thinking of using the public courts at Regional Park here in Weston. They are usually pretty secluded at certain times of the day and would be perfect for filming.

3. Dining Room

I am pretty unsure about this location, however I have been conferring with Raul whether we should use his house for this scene. His house has really good lighting which I think would be perfect for shooting indoors. However, this is something we have yet to figure out and update in a future blog post. 

4. Suburban Home

For this location, I was just thinking we could use my home and room. I will link a blog post that I created last year that does a good job detailing the location and mise en scene elements.

5. Field

I am split between two different places for this filming location. I am looking at Everglades Holiday Park due to its location after it is a perfect place for capturing amazing sunsets. Also towards sunset,  there is nobody there so I think it would be a great option. However, there is the other option with going to Vista View Park, which I think would produce a better quality view. We do face the problem of being at a height and dealing with wind.
