I went out to the locations I will be filming in. The first two pictures show the outside of college, I will be filming the middle section of my film here. I think this is suitable because my script contains a car park and luckily there is one just outside of the media centre. The bottom two pictures show the media studio, I will be using this because my film contains a hall/conference room and I think this is a good setting because it has a large space for the actors and it is generally used for media purposes anyway so it will be good to film in.

These two locations are good because they are both in college therefore they are easy for my group and I to get to so we don't have to waste our time travelling, we can just go straight to filming.

We walked to two different places looking for a setting for a romantic, comedy and sci-fi film. The first location was in a park, it had a lot of slopes which would allow us to get some good shots however I wasn't blown away by the surrounding, it wasn't much of an open space and it was very crowded with the play equipment. I don't think this location would've been entirely suitable for the film. In this particular location, the road was visible and could get quite busy, I think the traffic going past can have an impact on the scene and possibly be harder to work around.

The second location we went to was a lot better in my opinion because it was more of an open space, I think that a plain area would be more effective because it allows us to be more creative with our ideas. There were also a few slopes which would allow us to get some good shots from different angles. This area was quite tucked away despite having a row of outstanding buildings surrounding it, I believe this makes the set more gloomy and suitable to the film.

Both of the locations we went to were near building work which may not be suitable for the film because if we take time to discuss the shots in the middle of filming, the surrounding could have completely changed which could possibly make it look unrealistic.
