R+P Post 15: Our planned filming location, set design and props

The filming location we chose was Flo's house (a crew member) as it is accessible by most bus routes, allowing easy travelling for the cast. It also has a nice living room/kitchen and outdoor space which is essential to our montage sequence as many of shots take place in these two areas.

For our set design, we just used a spacious living room with one sofa and two chairs to allow for different levels of the characters and to make the set seem homely and casual. We used one light which we positioned in the corner of the room in order to illuminate character's faces and remove graininess from our shots, whilst keeping the room fairly dark to make it seem like a party atmosphere.

The main props we used were rolling products and alcohol bottles to set the scene and highlight the use of these substances. Along with these, we also used tables and chairs to situate character's around the room and make the shots appear busier and therefore more interesting.

This is the props list we typed up to bring to the shoot with us
