Their primary location will be an empty classroom used for season one and seen four where Ahmed is shown sleeping , cramming ,and hurriedly packing his bag this classroom should have rose of desks and chairs with enough space for the camera to capture both white shots of the room and close-ups of Ahmed face notebook and textbook soft warm lightning is essential to convey the early hours either from Through Windows or control LED lightning to maintain consistency across the classroom and scene Seem to requires a empty quite hallway or corridor within the same building or school which can accommodate a tracking shot following Ahmed as he notices the whiteboard and handwritten school closed on Saturday and Sunday sign the corridor should be uncluttered to emphasise Ahmed restoration and his low realisation of the day with enough wall space for placing unnoticed board or temporary sign scenery is a set on a balcony or roof rooftop area overlooking an open country Empty school ground which should be feel deserted to create a sense of suspense and confusion, the balcony must allow both wide establishing shorts, showing the empty courtyard and close-ups capturing Ahmed’s reaction and expressions throughout all location. Silence is most important to make sound effects such as school or low frequency third more in impactful props like Ahmed’s backpack textbook notebook, pens and phone will be essential for continuity and the layout of this space should allow smooth camera movements including tracking zooms and over the shoulder shots finally ensuring that scene one and four share the same classroom or visually similar space will help maintain continuity with while lightning and camera angles remain constant to support the comedic yet suspenseful tone of the fin. The fin will have a cohesive visual style that highlights Ahmed’s confusion panic and ultimate comedy realisation that’s it’s a Saturday.
