Between the devil and the deep blue
The bed roomThe bed room will be shown very briefly and will always be darkened, there will be a soft yellow light to represent warmth and home. This is meant to be our characters 'safe space' so to speak and this is where the film will open and close. The location specifically will be my bedroom as of course there are limits in budgets and time. The forestThe scenes in the forest will constitute about a third of the films run time. In this time we will be presented with the friend and the first dialogue where we are told that he is mentally ill. We will be filming at dusk in order to represent the growing darkness in the character. Specifically we are going to be filming around the wooded area close by to port marine. We chose this area because it has a high point without a forest canopy which will allow us to take advantage of the natural light that will be flowing in during the filming. The schoolThe school scenes will again make up about a third of the films run time as the friend returns to the boy just in time to aid in the confrontation with the mother. She will return with information about the boy's mental state and the fact that he's being poisoned. we wanted to give it a very clinical feeling so we have found a stair way in which the confrontation will take place allowing us to use low and high angle shots to present the friend as angelic and the mother as demonic. The location specifically will be Gordano school as it is where I go and therefore the easiest and cheapest option that will still serve our purposes well enough. The beachThe beach scene is the last scene in the boys 'dream sequence' and it will have him turning his back on the pills and his mother to start a new life without them. This scene will be filmed ideally at dawn. However the specifics of getting that to work are unlikely at best and impossible at worse so any time where there is a lot of light to make the scene feel optimistic will be enough. The beach we will be filming on is directly adjacent to the forest to allow us to perform much of the shoot in one day.

There are very few key props that will be used in the film. This was done to ensure that the film is affordable to make but also to make sure that when props are used that its something extraordinary and therefore draws the attention of the audience. The pill bottle
