Planning: Location planning

My group, FishEye Films, firstly decided that we would film in a school as we thought that because our film being about a caretaker, it was the obvious reason to choose a school to film our opening in. After walking round our school and looking the fine details of the school and started filming parts of our opening, we come to the decision that this was not the right place for us to be filming. We have come to the conclusion that we will find are more better, suitable place to film our opening. Due to us being in our old school where it was run down, tatty and old, it was the right place for us to film but we have moved into a brand new, state of the art school which looks to clean and new. This will not help us at all with the filming and will not look right in a horror opening. As you can see from the pictures on the right hand side, that the school is not suitable for us and we will no longer be filming here. Although we could use some of the outside, landscaped to film little parts, without making the opening not so good and we will not achieve a good grade overall. 

We have now found a different location for us to film the opening of 'Caretaker.'. Ellie's grandma has a shed that fits into everything that we have planned, The shed contains tools, brick walls, dark area and does not look new like the school does. We will now be filming our opening here as we feel it will give us the best outcome and the viewrs will understand the opening more.

New location for our opening of 'Caretaker'

We wanted a place that looked and felt like a caretaker workshop/office. We have finally found a location for us to start filming our opening. We feel that this is a good location because it contained everything that we need such as hammers, screw, tools etc for the mis-en-scene. It also matches the caretakers personality. Below is a couple of images showing the exterior of the location and the interior.
