After having several problems with shooting at our first chosen location we needed to find a new location and in very little time.This was going to be a hard task because we need a location that didn't have many modern aspects that would signify the wrong time period and the location needed to include large grounds and a large manor house.
After having the trouble with our first location (the details of this our shown here on an earlier post: http://megansa2blog.blogspot.com/2009/12/trouble-with-locations.html) we had to find a new location quick and get permission to film there.
We found a new location - Ghyll Royd School and Nursery which is an old manor house converted into an independent school.
After ringing the school and talking directly to the head teacher we were granted permission to film at the school.
We planned to use the entrance for the scene were Emmeline (the main female protagonist) sees the man she loves with a woman who is his wife to be. We also wanted to use the front of the school for the scene were the main male protagonist runs after Emmeline to stop her from leaving and to tell her that she is the one he loves. the entrance of the school was perfect for these scenes because it doesn't have many modern aspects that would signify the wrong time period to the audience. It also has many old fashioned aspects that do signify the right time period for our film, this includes the pillars on either side of the entrance which Emmeline is seen in one shot to be stood next to and the stairs which Emmeline runs down. We are also hoping that this large manor house will signify the class of the two main protagonists (upper/middle class) and that the grand fixtures and fittings will signify the wealth of the people that our attending the ball and that these are of the same class as the two main protagonists.

We also planned to use the large grounds for the scenes/shots were the main male protagonist meets Emmeline, when he walks away from Emmeline and a medium close up shot of the main male protagonist. This location will fit in well with the genre of the film because it is outdoors and will features little modern aspects, but the modern aspects that our in the grounds (football posts, fences and cars) we will try not to get in any of our shots or this will signify the wrong time period and genre to the audience.
