2. Staff Room
We were searching for a place to shoot the living
room scene in the school. We came to the staff room
and found it like this. We searched for different types
of camera angles that we could shoot in this room but
never found the perfect one. It was just not the right
location for us.

3. Corner of the room
We thought about shooting the living room scene
from an angle which just showed the corner of the
room. However the problem with this was we wanted
to establish that Mrs Taylor was no longer at work
and instead was at home waiting, worried for her
daughter. We also didn’t want to show her at a desk
again for the second time in the trailer.

4. Chairs
We found these chairs underneath the stairs on the
ground floor. We thought about maybe using them
and moving them to a better location. However we
realised that they did not look like the type of chairs
you would find in a house. So we moved on..

5. Main Reception
This is the sitting area in the main reception. We
thought about shooting the scene here because the
seats were perfect and they actually looked like ‘living
room’ seats. The only problem was the red wall on
the right hand side. We all knew that nobody has red
walls in their house and it would make our scene look
extremely unprofessional. So then…

6. Outside the main reception
We decided to shoot our living room scene just
outside the main reception area. We had the comfy
sofa which we liked and we had a nice clean white
wall to shoot at. This was perfect for our scene so we
decided to use this as our set for the living room
scene. We added props of our own to make it look
more homely such as a pillow and a teddy. We
thought about having the flower vase there too but it
didn’t look right.

7. Perfect location
Nevertheless we managed to find an appropriate set
to film our living room scene after searching through
the whole school. Hard work pays off at the end
right? Yes indeed.
