Location Scouting

In our meeting we decided what type of locations we wanted for each of our sets. We decided we wanted to use a kitchen as the setting for the opening location where Libby and her mum are first introduced and also where Libby makes the potion/tea. We wanted the kitchen to reflect the fact that the family are wealthy, therefore we would need to find a quite expensive looking kitchen to use as a suitable location.

The second location we wanted to use was a large bedroom that we could dress to look like the grandma's bedroom. We would require a large room so that we have enough space for all of the equipment and so that all of the crew can move freely around the room without ruining the shot.

However, after discussing the idea, we have decided to change this location to being the grandma's room to Libby's room when she was younger. This requires us to then dress the set with a 'princess' theme using fairy lights and pink bedding etc.

The final location we will use will be a local supermarket. This will be used for the final scene when Libby is shopping with Helen and she asks for the biscuits. I think this will be the hardest location to find and film as we would need to find somewhere where the owner is happy with us using their shop to shoot.


For the kitchen and bedroom set, we had two locations in mind, the first one being my own house as I live in a student house with large bedrooms. Below are photos that I have taken of the rooms we could use:

After showing these images to the group, we all decided that this location is not exactly what we wanted, however we could make it work if we really needed it. Therefore we will keep this location as a back-up in case we can't find anything more suitable.

When we discussed the locations for shooting in our meeting, Tyler had the idea of using his Dad's house for the kitchen and bedroom locations as he has a very large, expensive looking kitchen and a number of bedrooms with a lot of space. This was ideal as it fitted exactly to what we wanted. Below are images of the location:

We've decided that we want to use this location for the bedroom and kitchen scenes as we believe that it is the most suitable location for what we want each of the scenes to look like.
