Because we have chosen Social realist Drama as our genre we need to shot around built up areas to follow these conventions. Below are the main locations and some possible locations for our trailer:
Location One: 48 Warwick Street, Leamington Spa
We will be shooting the last scene of the teaser in an alleyway next to 'Hobdays Pet Shop' down this road because it is a prime location for shooting. The alleyway creates the perfect atmosphere for a drug swap because it is in the centre of the town but looks dodgy because the connotation of two people swapping packages in a small alleyway or corner of a road creates the impression that they are trying to hide something which in this case is the drugs. The old pet shop also makes it look out of date and the high street fits in with the locations used in similar youth culture films.
Location Two: Shottery park
This is our back up for 'location one', we can easily access the alley leading to the park which would also be ideal for the meeting and swapping of packages. We could also use this as a possible location for other filming because with the graffiti on the walls could add effect to our film, chase scenes if we choose to use them would also work well in this location.
Location Three: Bishops Ichington
This is were we might be filming the car scene and the shot of inside the empty house. We will be using a different location and front of house for the outside shot because the we need a more built up area to fit in with our storyline and to keep in with the connotation of the character being portrayed.
Location Four: Katie's Coachouse, Hockley Heath
This is another possible location for us to film inside for the empty house. It is a small apartment built at the bottom of her garden and would be perfect for filming the interior because it is small, basic and doesn't have much furnishings. Again we need the interior of the house to fit in with the stereotype of character and background that we are trying to create. Our only implication could be access to the property because we will be relying on someone elses availabilty.
Location Five: George's house, Shirley
This would work well because the location is easy for us to acces because it is on eof the actors houses. The location is perfect and we will have all day to film so there won't be the problem of test shoots and timings. Also it is nearby to Monkspath if we need to use that location for the car scene.
