Cons of location:	We would need permission to film in different areas in the school, we would also need to ask some teachers whether they are okay or want to be a part of the documentary Noise control, some locations like the canteen can be noisy during lunch time or break time which can affect the quality of the sound Time limits, we might have to film outside school hours to get darker scene, we would need to ask permission first on whether we could film during those hours.
Alternatives:	What other locations can you shoot at if there are issues here? Someones house
