Pre Production - Location

Pre Production: Location (by Jacob Osman)


Alleyway, Archer Close - As located at the end of a cal-der-sack, the location is never really busy - apart from the occasional dog walker, meaning that we could film there any time of day as long as there was sufficient lighting.
Bench & Common - The bench is located very close to three of the areas schools, this means that at before 9am, at lunchtime & at the end of a school day would be difficult times to film as the common would be full of students making their way out at lunch or going home. As we are filming in a particularly cold and wet time of year, we must be prepared for the muddy and slippery conditions in which we most likely would come across.
Langley Hill - These photos of Langley Hill were taken from outside my house, meaning it is a convenient place to film as it's where my house is. Langley Hill is the main road used by Rudolf Steiner School and Kings Langley School's buses, therefore it would be too busy and full of traffic to film at the start or at the end of the school day.
My House, Langley Hill - My group have chosen my house to film a large majority of our pop promo at because it offers spacious rooms which have sufficient lighting and how it is within walking distance from school and all our other filming locations.
Kings Langley High Street - The high street has very wide pavements on one side of the road, which is very good for filming Jeremy running through as of the space needed, it also contains various cafe's and coffee shops which we might need to use to film a scene outside. The high street is King's Langley's main road which connects Watford to Hemel Hempstead, so is always going to be fairly busy, so at rush hour and the end of school time would be the worse time to film at. It's in a practical location as it joins onto Langley Hill where most of our filming takes place and is only a 10 minute walk from school. If filming outside a shop or business we would need to ask the owners permission first to avoid any unhappy confrontation.
