Location scouting 3



Erith park

As part of our theme of masculinity, we aimed to present the male character as isolated and alone. Therefore we seemed to find a large open area in which the character would feel small. We found this local park which generally always seems very empty and thought it was worth considering. The open green space is also surrounded by blocks of flats which is complimentary to the gritty urban feel we aim to produce in out trailer. Furthermore, next to the green field is a small park which also has potential to be a filming location as again, it  is usually empty creating an image of isolation. 





Positives of this location:

  • Large open space
  • Surrounding mise en scene works well
  • In near to a leisure centre so access to toilets if needed during a long filming day
  • Good mise en scene 
  • Is a close location so is easily access able to re-film if needed
  • No permission is needed to film there
  • There is a park near the location which is another filming option


Negatives of this location:

  • Natural light is being used which can vary a lot
  • The wind/rain may be unpredictable 
  • As it is a public place, passers by may effect the shots as they may not seem continuous if different people are in the backgrounds of each shot
