Ideas of possible locations.

Ideas of locations.

We brainstormed the following locations:



Basildon;
Basildon is an area that is only about half an hour’s drive from
the every member of the group, or about an hour’s bus journey for
each member making it ideally a time saving choice of location.
The area itself has a central shopping centre that occupies a lot
of Basildon and is surrounded by an urban environment with a lot
of houses and flats which also make this an ideal environment due to we will be needing people to be walking around in the film.
Unfortunately it does not have many great areas for filming and lacks any landmarks that are very well known, which is why it may not be a great idea as it lacks recognizable areas and landmarks.





Southend;
Although a bit further than Basildon, southend is still quite local and in easy reach of all members of the group. The seafront is consistently has loads of tourists and people on holiday and family trips; although this is good as we need a lot of people the people will be dressed in beach-wear and holiday gear apart from when it is very cold, although when it is cold the seafront is mostly abandoned making it not suitable to us either way. An advantage of southend though is its famous pier, as well as a theme park and the beach itself; although it is irrelevant to our film it would be useful for known landmarks.



Chelmsford:
Chelmsford is well known for its peaceful rural areas as well as its grand shopping centre and relaxed atmosphere. This would be a good idea for shotting as it is populated and has a good atmosphere, although the atmosphere is relaxed and therefore not suited to the effect we need, which is a rushed, almost chaotic atmosphere.



London:
London is seemingly the most promising location due to its contents; landmarks such as Big Ben, The London Eye and Westminster Abbey also give the audience recognizable scenery which adds to a greater effect. The atmosphere (during the day) is always rushed and full of tourists, which is also good because we need the rushed and chaotic atmosphere, as well as a lot of commuters and businessmen.
