How and why did you pick specific locations for your depict. explain each locations ?
1) our first location was outside of a cafeteria - This was chosen because we wanted our character to be near a social space but for the area to be empty so its looks like he has no friends because of his peculiar ways. we also chose a bench and a book because we wanted to represent him to be a bookworm but for him to hold his book sideways because he doesn't have that much common sense
2) our second location was a hallway and a couple of lockers - This was chosen because we wanted to show that he spends time in the corridor and classroom to avoid other students. he is stuck in a locker as it is a therapeutic and a resting place for him to sleep or to relax.
3) our third location was a classroom during a lesson - this was chosen because we wanted to show the audience what he is like during a lesson and peoples attitude and opinions . so a classroom was vital to show every aspect of the plebs life.
4) our fourth location was a outside hub location with a bench - this was chosen because we wanted to show the audience his hobbies and how unusual they are for his age. we also wanted to show that he stays behind after college to show that he does he hobbies on the college campus rather than doing them at home .
