Location Scouting

1. Location Scouting
Scene 1 is in a church where the coin falls and the girl walks away from it as it lands on the
floor. This scene will take place at St. Wendreda’s Church, March. We are using the church
because it will look effective when the coin falls against the cobbled floor. We are also going
to use the sound from the coin hitting the floor and make this louder and echo it to enhance
it. The use of the church will also allow us to use religious connotations.
Scene 2 is at a park on a bench where the couple are spending time together. The bench is
situated looking over the park and the couple are sitting looking at the sunset. This is
conventional to genre because the sunset gives off ambient lighting which will be low key
lighting. This connotes romance and the couple sitting together represents the intimacy of
their relationship.

2. Scene 3 is in the night club Cassanos, March. This scene consists of the couple spending time
with friends and the female character receives a call from her manager offering her a job
overseas. She exits the nightclub room into a corridor with the camera tracking her talking
to her manager over the phone. This scene will have very low key lighting and this will
connote romance and their passion towards each other. It will also highlight their age group.
Scene 5 is a shot of the street at night where they are walking along together after a night
out. This will be a long shot of the couple holding hands and the camera shows Emma letting
his hands go and walking away. The low key lighting connotes romance and intimacy but in
this scene, working with the camera work it is also connoting a slight conflict.

3. Scene 6 is the female character in the bedroom. She is hastily packing clothes and the
camera work allows the audience to see how upset she is about leaving. The bedroom gives
off high ambient lighting which represents the positivity of her moving away and this big
step she is taking. It also allows us to highlight her expressions and her emotions. The
bedroom
will be a
typical
feminine
room which
contrasts to
her non-convention
al
personality.
Scene 7 is a shot of the female character getting into a crowded airport lift with her luggage.
The camera work is a long shot to begin with showing her surrounded by strangers in the lift
to represent how she feels lonely. This then cuts to a mid-shot of her on her phone and an
eye line match shows what she is looking at. A two shot of her and another woman is used
to show the dialogue between the characters. The lighting is ambient lighting which in the
lift is high key lighting- this is in contrast to the first few scenes which use low key lighting to
connote romance with the couple together,
contrasting to her being alone.

4. Scene 8 is in the female character’s office/ meeting room where she is lecturing her staff.
This will be a wide shot which will allow the audience to see the professional setting she is
in. This is symbolic of her independence and her career driven personality and how she is
coping without her boyfriend. The high key lighting contrasts with the romantic low key
lighting setting. The high key lighting represents how her morale is high with her new work
colleagues and how she is happy in her new position.
Scene 9 is in the male character’s office. This shows him on his own which signifies how he is
isolated which represents his low mood without his girlfriend. The low key lighting in his
office contrasts to the high key lighting in her office which symbolises their different moods.

5. Scene 10 is a scene where the male character is sitting slumped in the bathroom. This scene
is particularly representative of how he is really struggling and missing his girlfriend. It
focuses on how he is using alcohol to dismiss his problems. The bathroom has high ambient
lighting which will allow us to use camera work to highlight his expressions and emotional
state. We are able to use low key lighting if we want to, to create a negative mood in the
room to symbolise his negative mind set. This bathroom is a lot smaller and enclosed in
comparison to her bedroom- the scene where she is upset- and so this produces a negative
feeling and represents how he is isolated in comparison to the female character.
Scene 11 is with the male character in a pub with his friends drinking shots off the bar. This
shows how he is finding it very difficult without his girlfriend and how he is attempting to fit
back into a bachelor lifestyle with his friends. Although he is surrounded by his friends he is
still acting awkward without her and the camera work represents how he is still isolated.

6. Scene 14 is outside a door where the coin drops onto the step and a woman picks it up. This
contrasts to the beginning scene in the church where she walks away from the coin. This
brings an unknown ending to the trailer as it suggests the female doesn’t let the relationship
go.
