POST 22



List of the settings in our script :
  • Narnia
  • Alternative Universe
  • Mr Tumnus' House
  • Lampost Scene
  • Frosty Forest
  • The Wardrobe into Narnia Scene


Images of potential settings that can work and reasons why :




Plantation Garden - The Plantation Garden is a Grade II English Heritage registered garden close to Norwich City centre, next to the Catholic Cathedral. The 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. It is an idiosyncratic garden, a haven of peace and tranquillity and a glimpse into a bygone age.






Mousehold Hill -
Mousehold Heath is an area of heathaland and woodland which lies in 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 scene of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardobe.


 
Bewilderwood Adventure Park -  
A huge, award winning forest of family fun and outdoor adventure. Treehouses, zip wires,
jungle bridges, Crocklebogs, Twiggles and Boggles, storytelling, boat trips, marsh walks and really yummy food!

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

We chose to use a local forest for our setting as we thought 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 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 in 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.
