As Asher and I delve more into the production aspects of our trailers, we decided a good place to start would be to choose possible location settings. We began by describing spots that we have both imagined filming in and then we brainstormed about where these settings would be feasible to film. We think that having about 5 main, unique settings would be a balanced number for our trailers.
Location 1: School Campus
Since Nora will be in high school, we clearly need a school setting, so it's a good thing Asher and I attend a high school. We not only attend any high school, we attend Cypress Bay High School. Cypress is like a mini college campus. With almost 5,000 students, 3 buildings (one of which is three stories), and over 50 portables, I'd say we have plenty of very accurate representations of the high school Nora will attend.
Location 2: Bedroom
We will be using Asher's house, specifically his bedroom and bathroom, to shoot these scenes. We both agreed that he has a very stereotypical looking high school bedroom- artsy posters, messy desk, framed pictures with friends and family, etc. His room will be great for our target audience to relate to and it will feel like it is actually Nora's bedroom. We will use this setting to establish the more emotionally driven scenes because often times high schoolers go in there rooms to be dramatic about their problems, sorry but it's true.
Location 3: Glass Shower
Asher and I are so so so excited about this setting! We will be getting some very raw and vulnerable shots here that will show the real, engrossed emotional pain Nora is going through. Asher has a very nice glass shower in his house that will be easy to film around so we will be able to make our vision possible.
Location 4: Doctor's Office
Our idea for the doctor's office derives from the plan of introducing to our audience that Nora has a serious problem. We haven't decided whether or not we want to make it a therapist's office or a doctor's office only because it depends on where we shoot it. Asher asked his therapist if we can use her office to shoot these scenes in, but she can not give us a straight answer yet because she has such a busy schedule, which is understandable. So our plan-B is that we use Asher's house again and shoot in his dad's office. We can redecorate certain parts and include only what we need in our shots to make it look just like a real-life doctor's office.
Location 5: Woodland Area
I think I am most excited about the shots that will come from this setting. We will be filming in Markham Park which is a very woodsy-looking park with 666-acres of land. Markham has such versatile locations that Asher and I can make use of. We have so many cool and interesting shots we want to do here and I have such a clear vision of how I want to do them. It's going to be great!
So those are our main five locations we are going to be using. If we add any more, they will most likely be quick scenes that will serve a purpose of why we added and/or changed any. I hope that you enjoyed our locations and I can't wait for you to see the real deal.
Until next time!
