Preliminary Task 1: Location

Classroom This will be the setting for our first scene, however the tutoring session will most likely take place at the teachers desk rather than at student tables. Not much of the classroom will be shown in the film however there may be an establishing shot that shows it. Desk This is where our tutoring session will take place. In this picture we can still see a teachers belongings from the school day, this will be removed for filming.
