We chose Jaycee Park for a scene in our film because of its unique mix of natural beauty and subtle charm. The park's large spaces and playgrounds gave the ideal setting for this scene's emotional growth. The swings especially grabbed our attention because they are a strong visual metaphor for the characters' conflicted fragility, the push and pull of their feelings, and the unspoken words that remain between them. They suggest to the deeper, more complex emotions at play while also representing a sort of innocent joy.
Filmmaking usually requires careful consideration of the location, and Jaycee Park felt like a good choice right away. However, we ran across a little issue, which is usual in production. We found out on our first location scout that the park was reserved for a private event on the Sunday that we had originally planned to film. Our director managed to come up with a solution that was not different from our intended scene. We were able to move our outside shoot to the next Monday after a few phone calls and a few last-minute scheduling changes. To do this, we had to coordinate with our whole cast and crew, let them know about the change in plans, and make sure they were all ready for the new schedule.
Although the swings are the main draw in the scene, we also planned on using the other parts of the park. Besides to the many visual choices offered by the slides, monkey bars, and surrounding green areas, we're thinking about adding some improvisation to the scenario to let the actors engage with the setting naturally and observe what genuine moments develop. This may give the scenario an air of authenticity and sincere feeling, reflecting the natural growth of dialogue and bonding.
