Post 22 - Working from a script (Setting)

List of the settings in our script: 

- Narnia
- Alternative universe
- Mr Tumnus' House
- Frosty Forest 
- The wardrobe into Narnia
Images of potential settings that can work and reasons why : 

PLANTATION GARDENS

The plantation Garden is a Grade II English heritage registered garden close to Norwich city centre, next to the Catholic Cathedral. Th garden comprises nearly 3 acres and its features include a Gothic fountain, flower beds, lawns, an Italianate terrace, 'Medieval' wall, summer house, woodland walkways and a rustic bridge. 

MOUSEHOLD HILL

Mousehold heath is an area of heathland and woodland which lies north east Norwich, England and a designated Local Nature reserve. It is now mostly covered by broad-leaf semi-natural woodland, although some areas of heath remain and are actively managed. This location would be ideal for our Narnia scenes.

BEWILDERWOOD ADVENTURE PARK

A huge, award winning forest of family fun and outdoor adventure. Treehouses, zip wires, jungle bridges etc. This location would have been very exciting and fitting for the scene we were to film, but unfortunately the site was closed for the season so it was impossible with our time frame to film there.

Final choices of what settings we are using and reasons why : 

We chose to use our local forest for our setting because we though it was best for our scene. The setting was perfect for our Narnia piece because the area was very close to home. This made transportation very easy for cast members and producers as it wasn't very far to travel. Furthermore, the location was a forest in a field nearby which means that there was no entry fee, unlike other locations we were looking at. Finally, our location was very quiet which meant that we could get a lot of footage before a dog walker came past. This was very good as it allowed us to film lots without being disturbed. In conclusion, I think that our location was exactly how our group envisioned the setting to look like, we all believe that we couldn't have chosen a better location to film.
