Location scouting

So with regards to the locations I would like to use, I have already got a visual image in my mind of what I want each scene to look like. I will list the number of locations below.

Locations:

Jordan's bedroom/house
I am going to use my dad's flat to film this scene as he is going to be playing Jordan's alcoholic dad. We will have to mess up the flat a bit to get the right level verisimilitude within the scene. I will attach screenshots of what I would like it to look like. This place, essentially, is going to look dirty and uncared for as if there is no pride in the environment his dad lives in.
 









Kyle's bedroom/house
For this location I am wanting to use my own bedroom. I will try and make it look as neat and tidy as I possibly can and I will be using props that I already have for the scene such as trophies and certificates etc.

Luna's bedroom/house
For this location I am going to be using molly's bedroom as I believe it has an artistic setting with the use of fairy lights, mirrors and canvas paintings. This is also the same house where the shed is, so with regards to getting the shots done quickly this will be advantageous for me.

School/school gates
I am going to use my school, Ilkley Grammar School to film this as I have access during the week and within my frees to get the relevant footage shot. I will also be allowed to bring in my friends to do some shooting without going against safe guarding rules within school.

Streets
For this location, I am going to use a set of streets within burley which is actually relatively close to the shed so it will be efficient filming. This area is a predominantly working class with terraced, newly built homes giving it that right level of verisimilitude. This will be incorporating social realist elements into my production by using realistic settings and not setting simply there to please an audience by the aesthetics.

Park
The park is simply a park, my local park within the village I live has perfect features which I can use, I am only using this location for about 4 shots so it isn't the most important scene. I need a bench where Luna and Kyle can sit and wait for Jordan to get the drugs. A bench next to the bowling green is used for that exact purpose by local youths so by using this spot would present the watcher with a real life view on picking up drugs.

Club
With regards to the club, I have emailed the wire club and asked if it would be possible to undergo some filming within their venue. I have chosen this venue as I believe it has the spooky and dark vibe in which my production needs to properly get the narrative to be as blatant and effective as possible.

Shed
With regards to the shed I will be using Molly's outhouse which will have all of the necessary props needed to make my production match the visual image I have. This is because of the sofas and homely atmosphere it has despite the fact it is not a part of the house.
