For one of our scenes where Mohamed returns home and starts relaxing and having a drink, the plan was to use one of our houses for that in an attempt to make the room feel more homely. However using someone's home was a tricky situation due to availability and interference so we came up with a back up plan. We used the staffroom. The school staffroom has a kitchen unit and it also has a set of chairs that when pieced together correctly it could create a mock sofa effectively. This is the area we worked with:
With the help of artifical lighting and camera positioning we got our location to look like this:
As you can see we have created an illusion with our protagonist Mohamed that he is a homely environment without actually having to be in a home. We made the decision to use the staffroom because it meant that we did not have to transport our equipment, such as cameras, tripods and lighting equipment, and actors to one of our homes, making the staffroom an effective shooting location.
