Shooting Location
For my film opening, I am going to need two separate settings. I’m going to need a home setting and a school setting. I will need to include a teenager’s bedroom, a bathroom, kitchen, and driveway, as well as a school parking lot, various hallways (for my montage), and a classroom. I will be using my friend Taylor’s house for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and driveway scenes. Her house has a lot of the mise-en-scene that I want already there, which means less work for me when it comes to production design. Below are some images from Tay’s house that I plan to use.
For the school scenes, I will use my high school. I’m familiar with the lay out of the school and I’ve filmed here before when I had to create a music video. I have experience working in this environment and see it as a great setting for my film.

she’s adorable
I’ve selected my BEST FRIEND Taylor Moore to be my actress. She will be the perfect lead actress because she’s ADORABLE and fits the vibe of my film really well. I mean just LOOK AT HER.
Scheduling
Since I’m heavily relying on Taylor and her house, I need my filming schedule around her life schedule. Taylor is also taking Media Studies, so she also has to film a title sequence. She has asked me to be in it, which means we will have to schedule around each other, or come up with a way to work with each other. We’ve decided to film at her house this upcoming weekend (2/23-2/24). This will provide us with plenty of time to complete both of our projects. I will get the school scenes filmed throughout the week of 2/25-3/1. I will complete my rough cut by 3/4 and THEN I will begin the editing process!
