Locations

Once completed the storyboarding, we started looking for the ideal locations which best fitted our idea of drug-drama opening: for each scene we found a place where we could film undisturbed and focus on the details that compose mise-en-scene (e.g. colour and lighting).

Luckily we found all the areas we needed in Impington, as most of the scenes happen between Impington Village College and the house where I am staying at the moment.

Here are some photographs of the locations that we had chosen:

The IVC bus stop is the ideal place to make the audience understand that the main character is a student who decides to play truant and go home while his coevals attend school.

This road is useful to show some credits when the protagonist walks away from college.

My house is where we are going to use the match on action when the boy passes through the door.

Another match on action can be used while he goes up the stairs.

My bedroom, being a bit messy, underlines that the boy is a teenager who does not care much about order and precision; here the most important part happens, i.e. the scenes involving drugs.
