Nisa shop (Walton)
We chose to shoot outside of this shop because it is a corner building which means that we would have a large variety of places to shoot from, creating a different angle. This would allow us to choose which one looks better after filming which would leave us with, hopefully, a better end product. We also chose this particular shop because of its location. It is situated in the middle of the girls bedroom location and the boys bedroom location. This means that we would spend less time travelling between locations.We used this shop for the scenes where both the boy and girl , separately, walk into the shop and purchase an item. The girl purchases a bottle of vodka and the boy purchases flowers to on her grave.
This shop had no problem with us filming outside and gave us free props.

This church was used for the graveyard scene, where the boy places flowers on his dead girlfriends grave. We chose this church because it is close to the Nisa shop and birth the boy and the girls bedroom location. It is also a very quiet church which means that we will not have to shoot around people or have people wandering into our shot.
We tried to gain permission from the vicar on the site but on the day of filming there was no one there to ask. We were prepared to leave the site if asked to but we finished our filming without anyone else arriving. I am also aware of another media group who last year shot their movie in this location with full approval of the vicar. I am therefore sure that if the vicar could have given his consent, he would have.

We chose this gravestone, outlined in red, because of the concrete block near it. This acted as a platform to stand our camera and tripod on. The block was even and allowed the camera to capture a straight image. All of the other graves were surrounded by uneven grass which would have made the camera and subsequently the film wonky. Another reason why we chose this gravestone was because all of the scripture on the stone had worn off suggesting that it was very old and that there were no remaining family members who would object to us shooting there. This allowed us to avoid asking permission because there was no trace of who the headstone belonged to e.c.t.
The girls bedroom
We chose this room because it belonged to a member of the group so we did not have to ask for permission to use it. It was also the closest the the boys bedroom location which lessened the time spent travelling from one location to another. It also suited the characters style of understatedly girly. It was big enough to allow all of the group to fit in to shoot, take process photos e.c.t. It also had a mirrored wardrobe which allowed us to film the reflective shots. This room was used for the scenes where the girl wakes up and gets ready for the day.
The boys bedroomWe used this room because it belonged to the boy who volunteered to act in our film. It was also the only masculine room we, as a group, had access to. It was also big enough to fit all of the cameras in. Nathan gave us permission to shoot in his bedroom and house.
