External locations

This is the first location we are using. The first shot of our opening is a main road. To establish the suburban setting, as there will be cars and noise. This is Shipbourne road, which is a couple of minutes from my house. We have chosen to film here because there are street lamps which will help light the shot as we are filming at night time, and the rule of thirds will look nice, with the trees in the first, the bus stop in the second, and the girl in the third. The bus stop also helps with the urban feel.

The second location is this smaller road. We chose this road as it allows us to get the frame we had imagined, with the road getting bigger in perspective. It will as be a wide shot, which is a convention of a Social Realism film.

We've chosen my house to film in, as it was the most appropriate being semi-detached, it will help establish the idea that the girl is not lower class but she acts as though she is. Also it is on the road we are using so it will fit in with those shots as the houses will look similar.
