Location - Science Room

Yesturday I discussed about when I could use a science lab. We decided that Tuesday afterschool and thursday afterschool was more suitable for both us and the teacher. She said we could use some of the equipment, such as: beackers, test tubes, bunsen burners, lab coats, and test tubes racks.
We both agreed that using white vinegar, bicarbonate soda, and food colouring would be best as it is safest and easiest to use and get.

Decorating the lab using sciene equipment and using severall props aids the mise en scene in creating a science experiment.

Recce shots of locations

INTERIOR

EXTERIOR

This is the ideal location for our clip from the places nearby. As soon as I stepped inside it was pitch black which will really helps set the scene when we put the light in. The inside in these shots show an old, unused barn. We will organise the room to give enough space, there will not be any instruments in the scene, and we may have to cover things with sheets. This would add effect to portray a 'run down' place. Outside the barn is small court yard which seems old fashioned- stone buildings. 

Whilst I was there, I finalised the time for filming, being next Friday 5:30 - 7:00. This should of give us plenty of time for setting up the scene and filming. We shall make sure we are all clear what and when we are filming to ensure we finish within the time.

Risk Assessment

We shall ensure that the actors will have enough space, meaning that we shall move any unwanted props and anything which has a risk to health, or which will defect the film quality. The wiring and other equipment for filming will have to be safely out of shot to prevent injury and poor filming. I shall keep all doors clear to enable a safe escape if something drastic occurs.

Location

I have asked a lanlord if I could use his barn/shed to film in, which I used to use for band practise. It would suit our interrogation scene well, as it is quite old. Also we will be filming in the evening/night time to get more darkness into the scene, creating more of an atmosphere. We may have to use black binliners/sheets to cover windows if we needed to block any light. This will enhance the lamp which will be focussed on the scientist and his emotions.

I will be planning to get photos and videos sorted by the end of this week for our final decision of the location. We will also gather information on the weather forcast, as it needs to be dry or a light drizzle.
