Location Scouting

     Locating scouting is the pre-production stage where writers and producers search for locations in which the story will be filmed at. Since this project is made on a very low budget of a high school student, I have very limited settings for my story, making it very hard for me to explore different storylines. My story is based off a girl moving to a new town where she doesn't know anyone, so I will be using my own town, the city of Weston, to portray the new town she has moved to. I believe that Weston has some very beautiful scenery that could definitely be incorporated in my story. 

    My first scene will be of the MC walking into a coffee shop by herself on her first day on the new town. Some of the locations I am thinking about filming at are:

- Starbucks at Indian Trace

- Starbucks at Weston Road

- Panera at Weston Road

- Tijuana Flats at Weston Road

- Bonjour French Bakery & Cafe at Weston Road

    I have picked these locations because I believe they all have a nice environment, and the coffee shop would be a reoccurring location that will hold a lot a meaning later in the story. But, after MC leaves the shop, she will still walk around to get to her car, seeing some nice scenery, which will likely be filmed at:

- Weston Town Center

- Indian Trace Town Center

- Weston Road Town Center

    As the character arrives at her car, she will have a quick drive home, where she will be in fact driving my own car. This part scares me a bit, but my car has great space so I know I will be able to film well inside it, and as long as my actress has a license, I think we are good. Later, she will arrive at "home", where she will start moving, which will also be filmed at my house.
