Location Planning

The location of our short film will be in the common room and halls of the school, for both the reason of accessibility and because a school environment makes it very easy to convey the message of our film. We plan on filming outside of school hours when the common room is empty. The common room needs to be arranged for our purposes, and this rearrangement will be described in the captions of the images.

The initial shot of our character walking to the TV will start in the back of the common room towards the couches. The room will be tidied to look aesthetically simple and minimalist, with the couches being the only real objects.

First and last scenes will be start here, following the character to the television.

Another angle of the area the character will walk down.

The scene where the character meets up with his friends will be in another area of the common room, most likely in an emptier area where they can stand or possible on the couches.

The TV the character will start a game on. The area needs to be tidied and cable management needs to be improved to make the shot look good.

The rough area the character will sit down to play. Possible closer to the TV, or the TV will be lowered.

Hallways the student will walk down during his school day.

The area the student will walk by when being credited by a teacher for his good school work. Not necessarily this specific classroom.

The classroom wherein the student will recieved his failed homework. Room will be crowded and traditional desk style will allude to the traditional way that work ethic is viewed.

These locations are all located in the same building at Doha College, and so will be easy to re-shoot in if need be as well as all are visually similar, lending to the style of the documentary. Interviews will be in undecided locations, most likely around the area that the interviewees live or work to give a sense of personality to each interview.
