For our shooting locations we chose Boywer's Water (a forest area) and Alex's house. We chose Boywer's lake as Georgina was farmiliar with the location and we felt that we would be able to get a very good variety of shots in such a large forest area. We then chose Alex's house as it was large enough to film in and also meant that we had to do less changes to the decor of the room as Alex and Craig would have similar rooms. Below I have included a detailed list of all of our sets created by Georgina. Along with a description of the location, it also has a list of props for each location.
Props were very important in our sequence as they suggest a lot about our characters. For example, we ensured that Craig had his notebook on him at all times to show his great attachment to it and it acted as a running motif throughout the sequence. By doing this we immediately suggested Craig's introverted nature. Props were also essential in the setting up of Craig's room as we felt this would be a great opportunity to reflect some of Craig's characteristics. We added subtle props such as posters of films such as 'Casablanca' and 'North by North West' to reveal Craig's quirky nature. Despite only appearing in the background, we felt that small details were essential to create a three dimensional character. This idea was inspired by films such as 'Submarine' as we felt that the set design was extremely effective at reflecting the protagonist's characteristics and interests quickly.
