Location ideas for our AS Media work

1. Location Ideas
Eye For An Eye Opening
After we had come up with the location ideas for our opening plans, we had to change the actors
for our film therefore for some scenes we had to change the location in which we were going to
film with the new actors. Because of this, we had to write up our new location ideas.

2. Location plans for our previous ideas
Opening plans:
1. Photo of Alice and mum when she was a baby before she was abandoned (keeps coming back to
burning photo throughout – photo burning slowly) – Burn the photo in the middle to show
separation so the flames go outwards.
2. Show state of Alice’s bedroom – a dark simple room with no personal belongings
3. Show Alice applying for nanny job
4. Title
5. Show Alice walking down the street and arriving at a house for interview
6. Jenny opens the door and welcomes her warmly, show colourful garden
7. End of credits with John running in and the photo finishes burning
Location ideas:
1. Alice is holding the photo (only show shot of her hand holding the photo). She sets it on fire, holds
it until its half burnt and throws it into the gravel.
2. –
3. –
4. The title comes up on a faded in black screen and then fades out to the next shot
5. Heather’s front door and garden
6. Jenny opens the door and it shows the front garden so it suggests the family is lively and
welcoming.
7. –

3. New and improved Location plans
Opening plans:
1. Establishing shot will be used to show Alice’s room which is dark
and simple with little personal objects.

shown lying in bed in the dimly lit room while the clock ticks loudly
in the background.
