University of Manchester
This is where Esme Carter and James Wright went to university, I could possibly have the opening scene to be at graduation with Esme and her family and so understanding what the university looks like is essential for creating the scene.
Family House in Bath
This is Juliet's house she lives in, one that John and Esme grew up in. Esme moves back home to be a carer for her mother so this is the location whenever she is at home. Often in the kitchen her and Juliet talk but there is a scene in Juliet's bedroom. This house is a typical one in Bath and is on a terraced row of similar looking houses.
A few scenes are set in this hospital, when Esme takes Juliet for her scans and appointments for her MS. This is also where Esme sees a poster or job advertisement for her dream job on an archaeological dig in Athens towards the end of the script.
Hotel and Restaurants in Rome
Hotel Atlante Garden in Rome is in the perfect location, it has authentic bedrooms and the most beautiful view over the whole of Rome which I plan is a big part of the script as it is Esme's place to relax and think while in Rome. Also there are the restaurants, on cobbled streets and close to the Vatican, they're both in the perfect location between the sights and the hotel which will make it easier to describe.
While in Rome, Esme goes to these sights, often a large crowd surrounding all, especially in August when this script is set. Throwing a penny in the Trevi fountain and going to a small ice cream shop opposite the Victor Emmanuel Monument. It helps that I have been to Rome and to these spots as I can describe in the script exactly how I saw it and how I felt and so I can get the setting and location accurate and precise.
You can see in these images the Parthenon, where Esme finds the necklace, the hotels rooms view and view over the Acropolis, plus stalls of the arts and crafts, those of the festival Esme will be attending in the city centre. These images and more will help me develop a sense of the city and area and write the setting into the script. This is such an important part of the screenplay as it is the main setting so I need to get it accurate.
In Esme's dream, she goes back to Ancient Greece and transforms into Athena, she does things that myths have said Athena has done. Seeing adaptions like this of what Greece would have looked like is really helpful as it will help my planning and setting in the script to be as accurate as possible
