Location Scouting...
We knew that we would have trouble filming offsite mainly because it would hard for all of the team to get the time. We also aren't able to take the expensive HD cameras off site. Therefore we resigned to filming in the school. We knew that there are several appropriate locations in the school however so this was fine. We needed a quieter area as well as a staircase. We found a location very near the Studio we used the Preliminary task. The area we found has a large staircase leading up to a landing with a large window and some double doors leading to a corridor, this corridor then leads to the Studio.
The main reason why we didn't go offsite was because of the HD cameras. None of us have a decent camera that we could use as a replacement and match the quality, this left us to make a choice of a better location and worse quality or very good quality with a worse location. Despite this, i don't think that the school is a bad location, there are many different places that we could use to get good shots in an appropriate environment.
When taking conventions into account we were quite lucky because it seems that the school has a lot of locations that work very well, such as a dark staircase, eerie corridor and wide areas where we can put cameras at many interesting angles to create effects and effective use of conventions.
