Locations

We used a few settings when filming, one of which was the school setting by the lockers. We used this setting because the lockers connote the school setting which is important as this is where the film is set.
Another setting we used was the new girl's bedroom. We used this as it had typical female iconography and so the audience would know that the main character will be a female and that she is typical girl and that she feels most comfortable at home. This means that the audience can relate to her  better from the start.
Lots of teen angst films have these setting, including Mean Girls and Easy A.
