Jordyn's Bedroom

 The first thing we had to do after coming up with our script was figuring out the setting and how we would do our sets and props. The two main locations we'll be using for our film opening are Jordyn's bedroom and the school hallway.

Jordyn's Bedroom

A large part of developing characters in the coming-of-age genre is creating a bedroom they can identify with. For Jordyn's bedroom, we wanted to give her a room with a more laid back and sort of "edgy" aesthetic, and we felt that one of our group member's friend's room would be the best fit. At first, we wanted to use our group member's sister's bedroom since she's away at college, but with the way her room was decorated we felt it would be too difficult to try to change it into a more "alternative" aesthetic similar to Jordyn.

Although the room is almost perfect as is, we wanted to include posters that would allow us to more obviously showcase Jordyn's personality through her bedroom. Using the Spotify playlist we had made before, I found posters on Pinterest that felt would capture her taste and personality. I'm planning on printing these over the weekend and putting them up whenever we can begin filming. After we're done with them, I plan to keep most of the posters for my own dorm in college since Jordyn's taste is pretty reflective of mine (nothing goes to waste!). 

School Hallway

The scenes that would need to be shot in a school hallway we would just film at our own school since it'd be easiest. Since its an actual school hallway, there isn't a lot of set designing we can do, but we selected a hallway that we felt fit the tone of our film the best (Our school has different looking buildings with many hallways that give off different vibes.) The only prop we needed for the hallway scene was the flyer the characters will be using when Jordyn comes up with an activity they can do to cross an item off the bucket list. We first planned to put up the flyer towards the top where all the other club flyers are, but because we wanted Amelia and Jordyn to block the poster during one of the scenes, we might put it on a lower wall with other posters to make the shot work.
