Location research

Location one

This Location is where I would like to shoot some of my film mainly inside my house for the

environment it sets. I would like to shoot in my house because it is a natural British social realism

location and in a social realism film I will need to show these conventions so I will need a realistic

setting which this setting will provide.

The people I would need to ask for permission to use this location would be the owners but as they

are family this will not be an issue and there will be no cost to use this location.

Location two

The next location would on the road of in a location similar to this to show the journey the character

would take in a normal everyday life which would require a natural setting which this location

provides. I would use this location as it is a natural setting and very realistic to have in a social

realism film.

People I would need to ask to use this location would be at the most people who live in this area if I

use any of their houses in the film or ask their permission if they appear in the film. But other than

them I can use this location in the film and there will be no cost to use it.

Location three

Another location I am going to use would be my school as this is a very realistic setting and can be

used in social realism films to add that natural feel to the film. I would use this location as it will fit in

well with the story I am planning and it is easy access as it is the film I attend.

In this case the people I would need to ask to use this location would be teachers or the head

teacher so that I will be able to use the location. I would also have to ask permission from students if

they are used in the film. There should not be any expense to using this location.
