Location picking

 Location

The question "where are we filming this" has always been in my groups and my mind. Our short film will follow a gymnastic, so most of our footage would be set in the gym. Specifically, the gym one of our team members goes to, eugenia, given that she does gymnastics and we are allowed to film there. This gym is the Park Avenue Gymnastics gym in cooper city. 

 

This is what the gym looks like, lots of bright colors (reds, yellows, blues) which would develop a problem for trying to maintain a gloomy/saddened color scheme during the gym scenes. There's no way to change out the equipment in the gym nor do we have equipment that would fit the color scheme needed. I think will filming well try to figure something out maybe with the lights or specific angles, maybe this way our colors will be kept gloomy, this would probably form an issue while filming and editing, and I'll keep on thinking of ways we can solve it. 

Other locations for this project are going to include a house (the characters home), given that we need a bedroom, living room, and practice room for the scenes in the short film. This could be recorded in any of our houses, our only concern would be the equipment to show the main character had been practicing at home. Neither of us has gymnastics equipment except for a mat, which we'll see if it's enough to show practice. If not we are going to need to improvise and use other objects, or even show her working out at home and doing some floor techniques.
