2. Why We chose these
Locations
• Trafalgar Square: Good for establishing shots of people and public interviews.
• Outside BBC studio: Represents media and attracts our target audience
as it is recognisable by everyone.
• ‘Living Space’ Internet café: Emphasises the social media aspect of our
topic/documentary.
• Ealing Broadway park: Neutral and calm background that wont distract from
the presenter and what she is saying.
