Rebecca Bennett Television Blog: Location

The original scene is set in a living room/kitchen and I am planning on filming mine in a living room. The living room am I planning on filming in has to big windows which will allow the natural light come through into the scene. Natural lighting is key in the scene so this is an advantage for my video. The layout of the sofa and the table works well with the structure of the scene, and there is enough space for the camera and lights to be placed due to the size of the room. The room is very well decorated and has pictures and lamps and other home décor items which help make create a family friendly tone as well as following the script nicely. This location will be used for the first scene in my video.

The second scene is originally set in a car but I have decided to set it outside in a garden. I have made this decision because I wanted to keep the family friendly tone in both scenes, but also I felt I had a lot more space to work with outside than I would in a car. I will be using natural lighting as we are outside and if it changes throughout each shot, I will edit the colours and brightness in the editing process. The garden I am planning on filming in is very long and quite large. A summer house is located towards the end of the garden and I think it will give me a lot of space to experiment with different long shots. This location will be used for the second scene in my video.
