Location (Reccies)

Possible Park location number 1:

Children’s Park next to Latimer Road Station – This scene is to highlight the young girl’s age and innocence as they are meeting in a children’s park. It is within 10 minutes from both the actors our short film. It is very local for everyone and although it is quite small it is luckily quiet enough to film in during the day. The path leading towards the park is filled with trees and grass which adds to the scene.

Possible Park location number 2:

Children’s park in Edgware Road – This Park was very local which would save on travelling time however it appears to be too childish as the climbing frame is miniature. Also during the day it is very noisy and busy as it is next to the main road and in the middle of estates which would make it difficult to film in without any interruptions.

School environment:

Gunnersbury Catholic School – This scene is to indicate that Vanessa is a young school girl who has fallen for someone much older than herself. For the school scene I decided to use the school I attend as it was very convenient, I didn't need to have permission to film on school grounds, I could use my class time to film in and I could get all the help I needed when filming. In addition, the older character in my play would not be needed in this scene which made it even easier.

Victims home:

Edgware Road – We used the actual victims home to film her scene on the laptop as it was very convenient, the mise-en-scene of Julie’s room fitted perfectly in with the scene as it clearly illustrates a females bedroom through the pink paint and desk with school books around.

Perpetrators home:

Latimer Road – Similarly, we used the perpetrators home as again it was very convenient, the mise-en-scene of a grown man’s house would be met and the computer area was perfect as it was in the corner under the stairs which helped make the film look realistic.
