Actors, Locations and Costumes.

In further planning of the film i have looked into ways of handling my actors, locations and costumes. With our film it’s only really the location that is a major issue, the film only contains 2 actors for a maximum of about 10 seconds and still, this particular part is still in planning and may not be included. Again with costumes, there isn’t much we really need to plan other than set design and mise en scene. If we do decide to include actors they will be dressed in a ’smart casual’ manor, nothing to smart and nothing to tacky. The reason we have decided this is mainly due to the mise en scene and overall setting, it will fit with the style of the location having them dressed fairly smart.
The location was a major issue to get around in the beginning we had a very good idea of what we wanted, we just weren’t sure where could actually do it. We had the idea from the start of having a dark, low lit room room with a table set up for a romantic meal but finding somewhere to create this was a problem. We did eventually find a small room at college that we have been given permission to use as our setting, we are planning to place black sheets all around the room to counter the white walls and create a darker more romantic setting. With this room now available we feel confident that we can create the setting and mise en scene we aimed for. We still have some props to purchase to make this room into the location we aim for but we were well aware from the start that our budget may prove to be an issue.
