Scout Locations

1.) Bedroom Location
This was my co-director and I's best option for the daughter's bedroom for 
quite a number of reasons. One major one being the accessablity we had to 
this location. We attempted asking multiple of our friends to see if they 
would allow us to film in their bedroom, as expected, almost everyone felt 
uncomfortable with the idea. That is until someone close to myself allowed 
us to use her room after we helped clean and prepare it for filming. The 
bedroom had many different details and decorations in it that fit in perfectly 
with the idea of having multiple slow pans of the room as the credits would 
play on the screen. The room also had several different sources that greatly 
helped avoiding awkard lighs and shading while filming.
The owner of the bedroom also had a classic desk that was used for 
schoolwork, and a bookshelf to hold her many novels. She also many areas 
where she would show off her many sports trophies and prized art pieces. This 
diverse work space helped drive the concept of the daughter being an "all 
around" and "poster perfect" child. The way the door way was built in 
relevence to the rest of the bedroom also helped my co-director and I film 
with ease.


2.) Outdoor Location

This outdoor scene location was actually the first location i told my co-director
about. This was because I had easy accessibility to it and it was similar to 
what our vision was about how the daughter would exit the house to greet her
boyfriend. The distance from the driveway to the door was also the perfect
distance because our vision was that the couple would be in the frame form the 
torso up while the mother would be much further in back in the doorway to 
watch them. One feature that about this location that we didn't envision was
abundance of Christmas decorations, which was unavaidable considereing it 
was mid-to-late December when the filming took place. However, these 
decorations wouldn't hinder our filming or tarnish our end product, so we 
decided not to worry them.
