Locations: Update - John, Dom

We decided early on that we'd need a place with "a view" to film at - and the closest, cheapest, most known location near us is Brighton. We'll be filming mainly on the sea front and in and around the lanes on the way.



Originally, we had the idea of going to London and filming there - this fell through, however, as travel to and from is quite expensive compared to going somewhere closer like Brighton. Chances are, we'd have to make multiple trips in order to get all the footage we had wanted. This isn't too difficult to do if we go to Brighton, as the trip only costs a few pounds, and takes roughly 10 minutes.

Below our a few snapshots of our potential Locations.

this would be good for showing the protagonists commute, however, we are wary of the practicality of this.

 As mentioned above by John, the cost of travel is just too much for us! Also, the setting is very recognisable to be near canary wharf/ the city and we don't want it to seem as if he has a well paid, top job associated with this: i.e he is 'stuck in a rut'. We didn't want to give that impression so we dropped this location. As you can tell it was raining a lot on the day I took the picture! Weather is definitely a consideration when filming as most of our film takes place outside. We will take this into consideration for effect. i.e we don't want it to be raining as it suggests sadness, we aren't really considering using pathetic fallacy

this is more what we had in mind: as Brighton is mentioned above. This shows the tranquillity that he escapes to. The practical side of it also mentioned above by John

Brighton seems like the winning choice. Its busy with a large town environment, enough to get across our idea of the rush and dull humdrum of the 9-5 pace  etc. It has the beach amongst other things that we can show, where he escapes: not to mention the pier.
