R+P Post 15: Our filming location, set design and props

Our Filming Location:
We are going to film in Noa's house as it is a medium sized family home, this fits the bill of what would be the family home of the Lerones.
Within Noa's house we will have specific set-ups that we will use for each shot:

• Set-up 1:
• The living room.
• We will use this set up for the interview shots. We plan to make this contrast with the other shots, by including lighting rigs in the background and a boom mic, to create a more staged situation for these shots.

Noa's Living Room (interview area)

• Set-up 2:
• The bedroom.
• We will film in Noa's bedroom for these shots. We want to try and create the atmosphere of someone who is moving out soon. We will try to do this through the use of the suitcase as a prop.

Noa's Bedroom

• Set-up 3:
• The living room.
• These shot will encompass the main area of the living room, in-appose to the corner that will be used for the interview shots. These shots will be mainly used for cutaways for Joyce. In these shots we will have the Wii fit set up to try and show how much Joyce is into her fitness.

Top-down plans:
We decided to make detailed plans of how each shot would work. To do this we created top-down floor-plans for Noa's house, and planned out each shot on them.

Props:
We will use some props for our opening sequence:

• Suitcase and Boxes:
• These will be littered throughout the house, specifically in Toby's room. They are supposed to push the idea that Toby is about to move out to Uni.

• The Wii Board:
• This will be used by Joyce in her exercising scenes as she is really into fitness, and used to be a Pilates instructor.

• The Toby Puppet:
• We will use this as a stand-in for Toby in some shots.

The Toby Puppet from us experimenting with it early on

• The aim of the puppet is for us to be able to create a convincing depiction of someone being invisible with our limited time and resources.
• The Puppet is made out of a pair of glasses, some 'invisible' string, and two pieces of wood.
