Locations

• Lower school - used for establishing shot of school as it looks daunting and imposing look to it 

• Classroom - used for end of opening scene showing the 5 students walking into detention 

• Freya's House - used for when the protagonist runs down the stairs to the door to grab detention slip. We chose Freya's house as it is convenient and small (fitting Brandon's social class)

• Rach's bedroom - when it cuts to a close up of the goth girls face and zooms out to show where she is. We chose Rach's house because it is convenient as she is the actor and lives locally. Our character has recently moved house so the pinks walls contrast with her personality and character to show that she is not comfortable with her new home. The room is very messy and small which works well with the characters social class.  

• Sports field - when it cuts to a close up of the jocks face and zooms out to show where he is

• High street - when it cuts to a close up of the popular girls face and zooms out to show where she is

• Library - when it cuts to a close up of the nerd guys face then zooms out to show where he is 

• Another bedroom - when it cuts to a close up of the chav guys face and then zooms out to show where he is 

• Living room - used for when the protagonist is looking out the window and see's a postman carrying the detention letter.
