Web research for costumes, props, and location.

I had to do research on what props and costumes are needed for the movie in production:

Location:

All of the film is shot at Ernest Bevin College. Since the overall plot of the film is a mockumentary set in a school, all the scenes are mainly shot here because we wanted to create the feel of a documentary, with some elements of comedy in it. If I had shot outside the school this would have made the film less realistic. The furthest the camera crew went from the school was the front entrance. The scene the expelled student played by Jordan Murcer, was shot inside the school but we wanted to make it look like it was outside the school. The reason for this was practical because we did not want noise pollution with cars.

Props:

Quite a few props have been used for this movie. These props have usually had something to do with school. For example, during the title scenes, we used a whiteboard, and a marker pen because we wanted it to fit in with the theme of the school. Initially, we used a large classroom whiteboard, however, there were problems with the glare coming from the lighting. For this reason, we decided to use a small whiteboard because it made the writing faster, and there was less glare.

Costumes:

Since this film is set in a school, the staff actors and sixth former's did not need to wear costumes. To add realism, we wanted the pupil actors to be wearing their actual uniforms, and the staff actors to be in their ordinary clothes.
