Potential Location: Photo and Address	Positives and negatives about location
JCoSS Heart space	Positives- The area is very big so there are a lot of places where camera shots can be taken. It is quite colourful so will be used to a positive effect. Also, the weather doesn’t affect the shots being taken because you are inside. Negatives- The lighting is quite poor in the heart space so camera shot will be dark. Also, non-diegetic sounds are likely to be involved when shooting because of the number of students that may get in the shot or be heard talking off camera.
JCoSS AstroTurf	Positives- Natural lighting comes from the sun and diegetic sounds such as birds chirping and the wind will have a good effect in the shot rather than sounds added in afterwards for effect. Negatives- Poor weather can have an effect on the camera shots that are taken, especially if you want an upbeat film made with good lighting rather than grey skies and rain downfall. The wind can have a negative effect if you want everything in the frame to be calm and still. Difficult to control sound and scenery such as car horns being sounded and bus engines being loud.
JCoSS Classroom	Positives- Acoustics are greater which means better sound quality. Closed space means you can control lighting and noises in the background. Less likelihood of external sounds disrupting filming. Negatives- Availability for filming in an empty classroom as you would not have a long time to film in that space and for continuity, the same classroom with the same lighting and features would need to be used. Closed space means less options for different camera shots to be taken.

I will use the heart space location because it is the widest and biggest space for the different camera shots and angles to be used. Also, weather will not affect the filming of the product and the scenery is the most distinctive and colourful. Finally, outside sounds will not affect the filming because it will all be filmed in doors. It is easier to control sound inside the building then natural sounds outside.
