Since our film plot followed the story of a female boxer, we decided to look for gyms in Qatar that would have a boxing ring and other boxing facilities. Our options were a bit limited but we find two places that we could have filmed our boxing scenes at; QGym and Strongbox.
However, there were some problems with both locations. QGym only had a section for its boxing ring, meaning that there would be troubles filming the fight scene as all the rest of the machines, along with the people using those machines would be seen in shots, which would make our film lose its purpose.
Strongbox on the other hand, unfortunately, did not have any boxing ring, only a room where punching bags and other things related to boxing were located, which would help us film the scenes between the coach and the main protagonist. It also had a locker room where we plan to shoot the first few scenes of the film.
Eman had contacted both gyms and received a confirmation to film at both places. However, the owner of QGym had wanted to promote his business at our school in return, which we agreed to do after discussing with our teachers.
The only location we had difficultly looking to film at was the scenes about the protagonists past. We needed a house where we could pull off the required mise en scene. We couldn't find an appropriate place to do so, so towards the end we decided to do it at my house as we were running out of time to film. Although the setting wasn't what we needed it to be, we decided to use it anyway to test it out so we could see how the shots would come out once filmed there.
