Location research

With the storyboard in place, we now needed to find an appropriate location to shoot in and I decided to compile our research into this kizoa presentation. It shows our initial scouting of a location owned by a company called SHOOTFACTORY which is a professional location hirer. They had the perfect location we were looking for in an eerie, authentic looking warehouse which would have been great for our last scene. We did e-mail them and they got back to us almost immediately but unfortunately the costs for rental were far too expensive and more suitable for people on a low budget, not a 'no budget' production like ours.

After this we decided to look for a more practical location and instead looked at real self-storage companies in the hope they would be willing to lend us one of their storage garages for our production. We have emailed Shurguard storage facilities and failing this we will look at Safestore or Big yellow self storage.

In terms of the scene in the house, this will likely be filmed in the house of my group member and we don't feel we are looking for anything specific with the house because we want it to look like an ordinary teenagers room. Also our main focus is on the storage facility because that is our unique location and our shot in the house will not last very long because we know that house scenes are very generic.
