Recce Shots


Football Field

This is where we are going to be doing the football scene where George is being put onto the shoulders of his team mates. We thought this would be a good location as it is an actual football pitch which is large and has a nice background. The astro turf pitch (the picture to the right) is our back up location for this scene just in case the grass is slippy and wet.The sports hall is our other back up location (to the right, below) if the weather is not on our side and delays us from filming.


The Pub


Here is the pub where George will be thrown out of. It is ideal as it looks like a typical pub with the name hanging on a sign above the doorway, a cellar door and a specials board on the outside. We have not yet decided on whether we are going to film this scene during the day or night as both create a strong effect.
We were initially going to be filming this scene outside the local theatre (to the right) as the stone walled part of the building looked like a pub, but we thought that just filming a real pub would be a lot easier and effective.


The Bedroom






This is where we are planning on doing the scene where George is sat alone on his bed and is looking at photographs of his parents, trophies and is contemplating taking the drugs. It is a typical teenage boys room, but we plan to add a lot of empty beer cans on the floor to illustrate the situation that he is in.
