Today I went down into
Esher to explore possible venues to
stage our library in. I inquired about possibly using the local library to film in.
The reason I liked this library was because
it was well lit, whereas our school library is fairly dark and we would have to use
artificial lighting in order to get a decent shot. The
layout of the library was also
highly effective as we wanted to have shots whereby you see the "nice guy",
hiding around corners and watching the girl. The library was laid out with a somewhat
open plan flooring which would work well for
establishing shots and setting the
mise en scene. It also had a selection of little carrels and cut off sections which we could film the more quiet and intimate moments.

You went to great lengths to recce this site, negotiate filming by phone calls, emails and personal visits. You did your level best to win co-operation from the library staff.
