Locations Ideas and Plans

We have spent 15-20mins discussing what possible locations and scenes that could be used in our short film. We have a few ideas for where we can film the characters going to the meeting places but having some problems with the actual location the main scene will be held. We have had the idea of using the studio in our school media department. I have also got a friend who owns alot of unused land including derelict buildings and general shoddy areas. This will be very helpful as this will be nearly perfect for our production.
We will be taking photographs of these locations and uploading them and then deciding which would be the best place to shoot our production.
