Location

I have decided that I will vary the location as much as possible so that I can keep my audience members engaged throughout the very early stages of the text.

From looking at my storyboard I have made various location choices that would suit the action in which I am trying to portray on screen.

I will use some of the shots within a typical average-sized house so that I can create verilisimilitude as effectively as possible for the representation of a teenage girl. Within the house, I will film in a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom to link all the ideas of the narrative together, i.e. bathroom= vomiting, kitchen= fear of food and bedroom= teenage surroundings.

Within the beginning shots of text I will also use a gym so that I can reinforce the 'need to be thin'. Through doing this, it means that the whole scene will be realistic as gym equipment surrounds it. Furthermore, it will create continuity in the text and keep audience engaged with diverse location choices.


In the middle of the text, I will use shots outside walking to a supermarket, this helps to allow the audience members to experience the 'life' of the teenage girl outside the house as well as in. Therefore, in order to continue the continuity of the text I will have the teenager arriving with her friend at the supermarket looking at magazines and food on sale. Thus, creating inferior or questionning from friend and nourishment of the magazines but fear of food for the protagonist.

I will also use a brief long shot of a high school that would be attended by the teenage protagonist. This helps to keep the momentum of the narrative flowing.

In the very end scene, I will have a shot in a pizza restaurant with the teenage protagonist and her friends/ family showing the main protagonists recovery after a significant amount of time from the last scene.
