Our filming locations and decorations!

Hey guys! One really important aspect of ANY film is the setting and decorations. For our film opening, the main locations that are being shown are Jordyn's room and our school. 

Jordyn's Room!

For her room, we are going to transform my friend Lauren's room to fit more into Jordyn's aesthetic. Originally, were were going to use my older sister's room since she is off in college, but due to the decorations that my sister has, it'll be too difficult. Compared to Lauren's room, hers is almost perfect. It gives off the exact vibe that we want Jordyn to give off, and the only thing that we will have to add are posters. 

Lauren's room has a lot of decorations, such as Legos and physical music, that fit in perfectly with Jordyn's personality. Using Lauren's room will prevent us from having to orchestrate a complete change of my sister's room. 

Decorations for Jordyn:

For Jordyn's room, we are going to print out posters of her favorite bands, about the bands in the Spotify playlist. Here are some examples of the posters that we are going to have.

To not waste the posters, Isabella is going to keep them as decorations for her dorm in college! Lauren's room has a lot of vinyl records hung up on the wall which visually displays Jordyn's personality. Some of the posters that Lauren already has can be translated well into Jordyn's character, which is really important. 

The school!

For our scene at school, our easiest and most obvious option is to film at our school. When choosing what we wanted to do, we immediately thought of filming a scene at school since we are doing a coming of age. Our scene is going to take place in a hallway. We were debating on if we wanted to do it inside or outside, but we decided to do it inside since we wanted to avoid any confounding variables that may show up if were outside, for example, rainy or cloudy weather. This is going to be the hallway that Jordyn and Amelia are going to walk down in. On the left side of the photo, there is a place where we are going to hang up the poster that advertises the amusement park where the girls are going to spend the night. 

Props

The main prop that is going to be used in our film opening is the flyer for the opening amusement park. It is going to be hung up in the hallway where it's accessible for all students to see. We are going to have Isabella print it at her dad's job, alongside the posters for Jordyn's room. She is going to print 5 copies so we have backups just in case anything gets messed up. Here's the poster that we are going to use! It's important that the poster is vibrant so the audience can get a clear image of it.
