For costume, we want to keep it relatively simple and casual; just a typical weekend outfit for a teenage boy from Belfast such as jeans and a t-shirt, maybe a hoodie. The same sort of casual style of outfit will go for the sister (instead of the mum, due to last minute changes), such as jeans and a shirt, with some black casual shoes, but we would like to incorporate a conservative feel to it by using colours such as navy, black or dark green, maybe even use a Christian necklace.
The film will take place in what appears to be Will's bedroom, but will be filmed in Maeve's spare room of her house, and shots will be included of her stairs. The layout is fairly simple, but we will decorate it to look more like a typical teenage boy's room but avoiding the typical stereotypes of a homosexual male in today's society, by including things such school textbooks on the desk, sports items around the room, such as a football or a hurl, shoes lying about and some typical teenage male clothing around the room, such as hoodies and t-shirts. This will help us to bring across the fact that he is a normal teenage boy, going through school years like many others which many young viewers would relate to. The room is painted a cream colour and the bedsheets are also a gender neutral colour so this will help us to incorporate the fact that Will isn't particularly conforming to gender stereotypes despite the fact that he is trying to hide his sexuality from his family.
We will partly use natural lighting through a window in the bedroom but this lighting may not be strong enough so we plan to incorporate lamps rather than over head lights to make sure the lighting isn't too intense or over powering. This will also help us to avoid the problems we encountered in our preliminary film, where the lighting would change in its colour undertone throughout shots, varying from warm tones to cool tones which then became a major problem for us in terms of continuity. By controlling our lighting artificially, this will help us to avoid a lot of extra editing time on editing lighting.
We decided to incorporate Will placing his car keys on his desk after getting out of his car, the reason being because we had keys that were multicoloured so they represented the LGBT Pride theme. This helps to give an insight into Will's personality and views. We also incorporated a radio into the film, by placing the keys just beside the radio and having the radio play an interview between a political person and a radio interviewer about the current situation regarding same-sex marriage within Northern Ireland.
