Planning : Location

We chose a suburban location as our settting, we wanted to use normal everday roads, inside your average house and at a park on a bench. This is because these locations gave us good opportunites to use a wide variety of camera shots such as establishing shots and wide shots to set the scene and also a park bench would allow us to use a two shot of the male and female, vital in a rom-com. Another reason we chose these particular settings is because we wanted our target audience of teenagers to relate to them, the park bench scene for example is often seen as a hang out for teenagers so therefore this could put them at ease as they can now familiarise themseleves with the setting.

This first picture is where we are introduced to our protaganist character Anders where he gets hit by a ball, we chose this setting as it would show our character trying to look cool but with the comic affect of him being near a park and getting hit by a ball it would show the comedy side of our trailer :


Here is another picture of one of the opening settings where we our with our main character Anders, we chose the inside of a house of him getting ready just because its realistic and we know the amount of time teenagers put into their apperance :


This next picture is at a bus stop, we chose this location as it would show our main characters misfortune where he is spalshed by water, and we as teenagers know ourselves the hassle of having to get busses everywhere as we are not old enough to drive, so this is once again helping us create a connection with our target audience :



Here is a still from our trailer of the park bench scene, we chose a park bench because it is a classic setting for a rom-com where we can see both male and female and the audience can instantly recognise what type of genre this trailer is, I also decided to use a still of our trialer because it would show good use of technology :
