Change of Location

As we have tried filming on a few occasions at Ramsgate bandstand and have been unsuccessful, we have decided to change location for a few of our scenes to a busier location such as a train station or Ramsgate town where people will be walking past. This is because if people are walking past it gives a more realistic feel as homeless people are generally in busy places. This also would fit in more with our genre of social realism.

Location scouting

We have had a look at certain locations that we think would be effective for particular scenes in our short film.

We looked at this location for the scene that includes a drug dealer. We feel this would be an effective location because it looks a bit run down and deserted, which is the sort of environment a drug dealer would be found in. We also think this would be a good location to use as a background for our ancillary task of making a film poster because it's naturalistic and fits in with our theme of social realism.

We looked at these two locations for our scenes where a homeless person is begging for money. We feel that they are effective to use because they are secluded locations and make it clear that the film is set in a rural environment. We have decided the top picture of the Ramsgate bandstand is where we would like to film these scenes.
