This space is the brick entryway arch that opens up to the center of the Law Quad. The short tunnel contains two wooden doors, one on each side of the two walls and a metal lamp, hanging by a chain from the top of the arch.

I selected this space to film not only because of its beautiful appearance but because of the role it plays within the building that contains it. It serves as the first structure that students experience when they enter the Law Quad and the last when they leave. This area unites the inner sanctum of the Law Quad from the rest of the school and acts as a small opening in the division between the two areas formed by the other buildings that surround the Law Quad.

For shooting this space, I want to employ a number of different shots that revolve around how this area is inhabited as a uniting space and how that role changes throughout the day. I plan to shoot during the morning afternoon and evening on different days to experiment with filming how the space is used throughout the day. Also, in order to emphasize the role that the space plays as an opening between the two connecting areas, I plan to shoot along the surrounding areas the inside and outside of the Law Quad in their relation to the arch in addition to shooting the contents of the arch itself.
