Locations

This short film will focus on 4 main characters all seen making their way to a certain place. These characters will not be intertwined and will not be related in the narrative of the film; however they will all be seen in the same location. For instance the camera will firstly focus on one main character as they tell their part of the narrative (as if talking to a friend whom the camera represents). The camera will then drift away from this character and onto another that walks past in this same location as the filming motif is repeated.

Considering this information and this style of filming we will need a very controlled, isolated environment that will make it easier to ensure continuity in our piece. We have chosen to use Brick Lane as our location as it is a central location to the crew and is easy to get to for all of us. Also the fact that there are many roads linked to each other this will be a good location for our characters to be able to walk past each other as complete strangers.

Also Brick Lane is an ideal location for our film as if we shoot between 10 am and 1 pm whilst people are at work, this area will be reasonably secluded. This will allow for easier crowd control and less risks and hazards.
This location is also quite urban and gritty looking which is ideal for our short film as it establishes the characters lifestyle and social situations. This will help set the realistic and serious tone to our film which our target audience will also find relatable and a place they can identify with.
