Location Scouting

Final Location

    Hey there for our opening film idea we are filming a family dinner which typically takes place is a household setting, so this is what we were thinking for locations!

    Originally we thought out of the box, and considered renting out an AirBnb, a place where people rent out a home/room where travelers usually go to visit for a short period of time. We thought this would be a good idea to get the "best quality" filming since the houses are usually very nice, however we came to the conclusion this would have its obstacles such as pricing, choosing dates, and even distance so we scratched that idea. We also quickly realized this would not be ideal since we would not be able to film all of the footage in one day. Here is an example of an AirBnb house:

This is clearly one on the more expensive side because of its size and amenities included such as a mini golf course, hot tub, games and more.

    I suggested we use either one of our houses or ask to film at a friends house. Ultimately, we decided on Manuela's dinning room for our film opening since it would be more convenient, free, and perfectly suitable for our film opening "The Seventh Lie." 

This is Manuela's dinning room where we will be filming the main part of the opening.

    Overall, this wasn't a hard decision considering her house has a long dinner table that could fit all of our actors, and places we can film with dimmer lighting. We plan on playing around with different lighting techniques so that it isn't so bright when filming this dinner scene.
