places for filming

For scene one we are filming the protagonists in their bedrooms. We are using Niamhs house and Izzys house. Even though they are in different locations when filming the girls coming out of their houses they will be neighbours.

 This is where Niamhs house is. It is in Ben Rhydding.

The house to the left and the house to the right are the houses we are going to use to give the impressions the protagonists are neighbours. As you can see there is an ally way in between the houses - this is where the girls are going to walk next to each other and make eye contact. The first scene and the last scene are filmed here

For scene three we are filming in the graveyard in Ben Rhydding. To be respectful we are going to use a family members grave. They will be looking down at the grave, and we chose this grave because there are many bushes and Sarah will able to hide in the bushes and over look the girls.

Extreme close ups of the females getting ready - don't see all detail E.g Faces

(Showing the contrasting between stereotypical and counter typical females at a high school)

Throughout we are showing the title through props E.g makeup on the mirror - lipstick and cereal.

Film girls walking around the house and out the front door - learns they are neighbours - long shot can see their full body - comparison

Male walks past shouting "hey" at the stereotypical female, the counter typical then thinks he's waving at her - disheartened
