To make our film (‘New Term’) as realistic as possible to our 16 – 25 year old
target audience, my group and I carefully considered what code and conventions
are used within a film of the comedy genre and what is typically seen within
the school environment. Office Stationary, labelled folders, paperwork and
computer equipment are some of many items scene within a typical school. As
well as this, we also noticed that senior staff had more of a personalised
touch to their offices. For example, tea and coffee facilities, a mirror, coat
hanger and an electric fan were some of the items that were within the office
that my group and I filmed in.
After looking around Walmer Science College and the many possible locations to film our interviewing scenes in, my group and I all came to the conclusion that Mrs. Picken’s office was the place to carry out the filming. This was due to many reasons; this included the layout of the room following the 180 degree rule, the natural lighting coming through her windows into the room and the furniture following the codes and conventions of what is typically seen within the school environment. Moreover, the location of this set was easily accessible to my group and I as it was on our school site.
Here is a rough layout at a birds eye view of the office furniture and the room itself. This was created using Windows paint and Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation.
