The room we chose was in the basement of our school. It was the ideal location since there were no nearby classes taking place and therefore there was no noise when filming. Also, there weren't any school students walking pass the room, again making it more quiet and convenient.
When we found the room, there was a circular desk in the middle of the room. As this scene was a custody scene, I thought that a circular desk may not fit in well with the scene. I then suggested that we borrow one of the tables from next door's classroom, since it was empty and no one needed the desk.
During our location recce, we also set up the lighting and camera to make sure that we knew exactly where we wanted the extra light to be and where we wanted the camera positioned.
Below is a collage I created, showing the location of our filming and what we did. You can also see the circular desk which is then replaced for a rectangular, grey-looking, desk.
By having this location recce prior to filming, my group and I are able to be more organised when it comes to actually filming the scene as we know where we want to film, what the lighting should be like and where the camera is going to be positioned.
Excellent organization of set and props.
