Location thought

Private School- Local private school Summer Hill 

Summer hill is the perfect location, here are some shots we took on a scouting day.

The location of summer hill

Due to how close summer hill is we can drive there after school and are able to get all cast members there easy. 

Pool Room shots- James' house.

Someones house has a games/ pool room. We took shots when scouting and tested different lighting. We will need artificial extra light for James house. 

Car Park Scene- Odeon Car Park

We looked at many different car parks as there are many in the local area. We had to take in consideration lighting, accessibility and safety of the scene. As it is being filmed in the winter and in the evening loss of light is inevitable. So having somewhere with artificial lighting is a must. Such as street lights. The odeon car park is near the cast members and near the station so is easy for cast members to get to.  Need some where private, so passers by aren't distracted and people don't park there. This car park is perfect as it is very quite on weekdays anyway and the part at the top doesn't get used but has a large area for cars. So we don't have to worry about being disturbed or about others disturbing.

Lake scene- Furnace Lake

We needed an open area with a large stretch of water. We also needed to find some where convenient for people to get to. The station is 15 mins away. Here are some shots of the lake. 

Teenage suicide

Charlies Story Line,

Suicide rates differ between boys and girls. Girls think about and attempt suicide about twice as often as boys, and tend to attempt suicide by overdosing on drugs or cutting themselves. Yet boys die by suicide about four times as often girls, perhaps because they tend to use more lethal methods, such as firearms, hanging, or jumping from heights.

Most teens interviewed after making a suicide attempt say that they did it because they were trying to escape from a situation that seemed impossible to deal with or to get relief from really bad thoughts or feelings. Like Ethan, they didn't want to die as much as they wanted to escape from what was going on. And at that particular moment dying seemed like the only way out.

Charlie is the shy one in the group, he has been friends with Jack (the Leader) for years and this is why he has been accepted into the group. He is a respectable guy with amazing future prospects with him working hard at school and taking on responsibility such as being a prefect. Charlie doesn't like whats happening to his group and cant handle the pressures of it getting out of hand.

Test shots

We decided to go to locations we would like to film before we began so we could understand where we could place the camera and where the actor should be positioned

Our Idea

•  5 boys that go to a private school.
• They are bored of their life and want to do something to make it more exciting.
• Due to wealth the locations should be grand and good for the cinematography.
• Need a method of death for Charlie, but allow it to be easy to access.
• Locations should be easy for all 5 cast members and 4 crew members to get to. Considering location of all the boys. 
• Charlie kills himself from hanging - need to set up huge fire where he will be killed
• Subversion from stereotypes by showing emotion from a teenage boy (Charlie)
