Location Scouting

Coleshill Cricket Club

This location would be ideal to film my opening sequence because it is a really nice open space where filming could be very versatile. The open space means that i could get the boys to run about easily, the fact that it is quite a private place means that not a lot of people will be there which is exactly what i want. When the little boy is running alone the fact that hopefully no one will be at the cricket club will be able to fully portrayal loneliness when it comes to the boy being alone. The problem about this location is it is very far away, this means filming there would be very time consuming because i would need to travel with all the equipment. It also means that i cannot film at all different times because i would have to go there at one particular time and then film then.

Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve

This is another location I may film my opening sequence at. It may be effective to film in a forest because the use of trees could be used for the little boys to hide behind and create an effective backdrop. This location is also closer to by house so I could go there often to film different clips of my opening sequence this is effective because i could film in different lights and on different days to get a variation of shots. However the problem with this location is that it may be extremely busy on days i want to film, this means that people may get in the way and i will not be able to properly film. The location also does not have many open spaces which is what i want, therefore i would only be able to film in the forest. Because i am only using natural lighting it may be quite dark because of the forest taking away the light, therefore i would have to rethink what lighting i should use.

Chisiwick Common

Chiswick Common is another idea of where i could film, this is also very near my house so i could film on many different days creating shots in different times and also could shoot on different days with different kind of weather which would create a different portrayal of memories. Chiswick common is also an open space which is what i want for the location, because it means i can get the boys to run about playing. The fact that there are hardly any trees means that i will be able to get enough light without having to use alternative light sources. However the problem with Chiswick common is that it may be extremely busy because it is in such an exposed place, i need a place where there is not a lot of people to properly portrayal loneliness when it comes to the boy being a lone.
