Location Ideas

We've had a couple of ideas for the location of our film as we plan to show aspects from all different parts of the film which are all in different places around London.

One of our first ideas for a location that spured from our very initial idea was to film in the London Underground. Especially on the central line as most stations on the line possess the aesthetic qualities that we feel will represent Noah's feeling of isolation and loneliness the best. We did some research into   some of the stations on the central line in order to decide the best ones to film at.

When researching we came across the station Gants Hill. This station really appealed to us due to the unique design of the tube station. Gants Hill is quite an old underground station as it hasn't yet been renvated

Another station that we really want to use in our trailer is Mile End station. 

Mile End station in particular appealed to us as it has a cross platform interchange which will allow us to film from the other side of the platform. This is incredibly useful to us as we have had the idea to film an incoming train go past our protagonist and then to leave the station with him still standing in the same postition. Here is an example of the shot that we want to achieve:

Another Location idea that we had was to film in Southwark Park for the flashback scene. There is a heavily wooded area so that we can vaguely show the killing from Noah's point of view. The wooded area will also help us create the effect of a flashback as it will still be visable but we will also be able to conceal aspects of it as Noah's memory is fragmented.

Although we could possibly have an issue with the lighting as the forestation there is quite dense making it hard for any natural light to get through. To resolve this issue, we will have to find an area that is onlooking the forestation as if to create the effect of a densely wooded area.

We plan to use places like London Bridge underground tunnels and Bermonsey tube escalators for transitional shots as we really like the atmosphere and totally feel that it portrays the correct sense of loneliness.
