When deciding on a bus stop to use for this shot, we had to consider what restrictions would cause a problem for us. When following the shot list, we noticed a wide shot was used during this scene, and therefore had to ensure we had enough room away from the bus stop to gain a clear shot. Having this in mind, we chose against using a stop close to our home location, one we originally planned to use, as it was near a busier and inconvenient road, so the final location ended up being an unsheltered stand outside of college, the building used for David's Office. Although this location change made no major difference to our film, we had hoped to use a sheltered stop, giving the audience a place to focus on.
Using a bus stop with a larger road between where the camera would be compared to the stop itself meant we had more leverage when it came to gaining the perfect shot. The road was lucky enough to give us enough room for the shot we wanted, but it still had a large amount of space in which we could maneuver the camera, just had we had hoped.
Essential props for this location: Bus, bag.
