Researching locations for the film opening task is a relatively important element of pre-production as the right location makes it possible to achieve the look and feel you want your film to obtain. We only need two very contrasting rooms in our film opening. One will be used for Daniel's university room (give off the impression he is far away). This room needs to be modern, minimalistic and look like a typical working room with a desk and chair (right picture). The second room will be used as Phoebe's 'girly' room (give off the impression she is naive. This room needs to have lots going on in terms of posters and character to make it look like a typical girls room (left picture). We have decided to film at my house because I had both of these rooms. My bedroom will be used to portray Phoebe's room because it was slightly messy and also had lots of posters on the wall, which gave it a sense of character. I also said that we could use my Stepdad's study as Daniel's university room as it is minimalistic and has a desk that we can place the laptop on that he will use within the film opening.
My house is also a good location because there are lots of places in which we can take establishing shots. For example, the gate that leads to my front door and the big stair case that Phoebe will walk up as we introduce her as a character.
We have to take into account that we will need to carry all of the equipment so by making the location my house, which is very local to everyone, means that people will not need to drag equipment round for miles. Another factor we need to take into account will be our travel budget. We do not want to spend loads of money on travelling. By having a local location kept transport costs at a minimum.
