Crew

I am going to be the one filming, as well as directing. Therefore, I will need somebody to assist me with location and lighting design. I have asked the permission of a college friend, Beth Hazard, who will help me during the process of filming. She also does media and film studies, so she will be a beneficial helping hand when it comes to techniques and ideas.

Location

• A house- I am just going to use my own house for this part, as it will be easy to access and I can spend a lot of time recording, without having a time limit. I have asked the permission of parents and there will also be nobody else present who isn't involved in my film
• A wedding dress shop- This is subject to change, as I may not be able to use a real wedding shop, as there will be customers wanting to try on dresses and privacy and confidentiality must be respected. If not, I will set up a room either in my house, or elsewhere, asnd make it look as close to a real store as possible. Beforehand, I will contact a few wedding dress shops in my area and see if it is possible to film in their property.
• A garden- I am considering using a garden for certain parts of the film, just to signfiy the character living her normal life before any drama happens. For this, I will again use my own garden at home to eliminate time limits and issues involving other people being present.
