Location Recce

At first me and my partner decided to use a card shop which would remind Sanaa about he ex (Nathan) by looking at anniversary cards. We wanted to this at Harrow shopping centre at Card Factory.

The reason why we didn't choose this is because we the area was always very busy and it would have been difficult to film with other people around as some people may not want me recording them. So I then decided to ask a family member to record outside their shop which didn't have many people around. For this I had to change how Sanaa would have the flashback. (put an offer on treatments in the shop) This shop was also based in harrow.





Luckily, nearby I had another family member who lives in flat, which was very convenient and meant that me and my partner didn't need to travel much. So therefore we done all the filming that was meant to be done outside the shop and in the flat as both of these locations were in harrow.


For the chase scene, we went to me partners area in Kenton. I thought it is a good idea to film there as my partner knew all the roads and also they were quiet roads therefore there wont be many cars interrupting our filming time. There was also an alley way nearby. So we planned how we were going to do the chase scene and where and when I will run.

Finally got a male actor

In the end I decided to go for a trustworthy person in my media class as he would be easy to work with. He would understand the types of shots I would need to do and the amount of time it would take to film. Furthermore I decided to be the female actor as I thought it would make the process easier and the female actor I chose could not make the time I suggested to film. The male actor now will be called Nathan and not Alhur.

Problems getting a Male actor

At first I did have a male actor but the actor couldn't make our scheduled time which caused a big problwm. I've been having huge difficulties trying to find a male actor for the role of the ex boyfriend in my opening scene. I have gone into assemblies and asked for male actors however I got no response. So at the moment I am still looking for a male actor.
