Location Ideas - Mise en scene

02:19

We were given 'a boat on the Norfolk broads' instead of filming the entire 2 minutes on the broads with a real boat we decided to have a small boy putting a paper boat onto the broads and then his imagination takes him onto a real boat. We decided to do this for convenience because it would've cost us to hire a real boat on the broads. Instead we made use of the fact that we know of an abandoned boat on a beach in Weyborne and decided to use this for the imagination scene. We also have a seven at a park before the boy goes and puts the paper boat on the broads and this scene features his mum. We were thinking that we would do this scene at a park.

Due to circumstances out of our control we were unable to film at our given location of the Norfolk Broads or our initial idea of Weyborne beach. Instead we decided to film at a location near to us, called Broome pits and Ditchingham playground. We choose these two locations as they were convenient for us to get to under the circumstances. The locations we used were very effective. The park we chose was completely empty which added impact to the story because it made Herbie seem more abandoned and alone.
