These pictures are the locations for our film. The film will not be too insimular to these locations, unless we have to resort to another toilet for example - as the toilet we need to use is preocupide by someone else or another group.
Location Recce
Some of the disabled toilets maybe taken at the time that we need them and some of them do not have a mirror which we need as one of our main scenes. If this is the case, we'll have to either resort to finding another set of toilets, or find a different location overall.
The field could be really wet which could be very dangerous for the two guys in our opening sequence in case they've not got the appropriate footwear. if this is the case, we'll have to film Jake and Cameron in a different location playing football. perhaps the pavement or another set of grass. (Astro)
This girls toilet could get really busy which means it may not be appropriate to film so we may have difficulty filming. In this case, again we may have to find another set of toilets or resort to finding another location entirely.
The car park may get really busy and could get to dangerous to film. In this case, we'd have to find another carpark. This shouldn't be too difficult as there are many carparks located around Long road and adenbrokes.
The noise in the refectory may get too loud and affect the quality of the filming. If this is the case we'll have to film when we're sure there won't be many people walking about distracting us.
When we film in the corridor it may get busy and we need a specific angle which means if people get in way it could ruin the shot. luckily, there are a number of corridors we can use in long road.
There could be a technical fault with the car and we may not be able to use the car or the CD player. this is the most difficult problem as we cannot use another car. We'll have to check the cd player works before hand to ensure we can film successfully.

Shooting scheduel
We will have from the 7th to 18th to shoot our opening thriller sequence which means we have six full media lessons and any spare time to do any extra shooting to make it the best that we can.

Script for Thriller opening sequence
College field:
Cameron is playing football with friends while Anna watches from a distance.
Hallway:
Cameron and Jake are walking down the hallway towards the refectory, Anna is following and watching them. They go into the refectory and sit at a table and start eating their lunch. Anna sits a couple of tables away from them and stares at them.
Girls toilets- G block:
Anna is putting mascara and eyeliner on. Her friend is watching her efforts to glam her self up.
Anna: I don't know how to make myself any more noticeable! I've tried everything, I mean, I'm everywhere he is all the time!
Friend: Maybe you need to approach him now? Wait for him by his car after school and say hi or something. I'll see you later, I need to get to class. She leaves with out a hug or good luck, not very close friends, shows Anna's loneliness.
College car park:
Cameron is already leaving college before Anna gets to his car to wait for him. In a desperate attempt to get him to stop so she can say hi, she stands in front of his car just as he looks at a text from Jake and so doesn't see Anna and hits her. As she roles out the way of the car he drives off not even realizing what he's done. She ends up dying.
Next day- car park:
Cameron in the car park driving trying to find a space listening to his CD. As he drives over the place where Anna got knocked down, his track changes half way through a song to 'Bring me to life.'
Cameron: Why do i have this song? It's shit! He changes the song back to the one he was listening to before, it then again changes back to 'Grenade'. Didn't know i had this song on my CD. Starts singing along to it. It cuts out and starts playing 'I don't believe you'. He try's to find 'Grenade again but it's not on his CD. He parks the car and gets out to go to G block.
Boy's toilets:
Cameron is walking down the hallway towards the toilets. He walks into the disabled toilet in G block and goes to the toilet and then washes his hands. He looks up in the reflection and see's Anna behind him in the mirror. He jumps and turns round but there's no one there. He checks the door to see if he locked it and it's locked. He goes back to washing his hands, looks down and see's red coming off his hands, he looks for the source of blood on his hands or arms but there is none. He try's washing his hands with more soap and washing vigorously but it doesn't work. There's a bang on the door and Jake calls through.
Jake: Hey hurry up, we've got lesson!
Cameron: Jumps but opens the door Jake, don't ever do that again, scared the life outta me!
Jake: You look like you've seen a ghost or something! Laughs.
Cameron: I can't get this blood off my hands! I'm not bleeding either. He lifts his hands to show Jake. See?!
Jake: Mate, there's nothing there, look, dry your hands and we'll go play footie or something. Cameron takes the paper towel from Jake and, looking dazed, dry's his hands, looks down and there's no blood or red anywhere, just water. He looks in the sink for any sign of blood but there's nothing. fade-out.
