Revised slideshare of our set in stone locations :)

1. Jack Archer, Edward Cefai and Emilia Waterhouse

2.  Inner City.
 Loughborough Police Station.
 Queens Park, Loughborough.
 Loughborough Town Square.
 Tylers Department Store, Loughborough (Shop.)

3.  Emilia has a friend who lives in
the type of establishment best
suited for our opening sequence (see picture above) that we
are going to use.
 The main reason we chose to use this location is that it is
one of the areas that people from our questionnaire/ focus
group wanted to see in our opening sequence.
 In addition, these types of locations are part of the
conventions of social realism and are also stereotypically
associated with the working class. Furthermore, using
these locations will allow our target secondary audience
from the ‘E’ income bracket to seek personal identity.

4.  One of the more prominent locations in our narrative
is the Loughborough Police Station.
 We chose to possibly use this location as it is realistic,
which is what we want in our narrative, as our film is
social realism. Furthermore, this location will keep our
target audience entertained and interested in Laura’s
(the protagonists’) story.
 NOTE **: We are still waiting conformation for this
location.

5.  Another key location we will
be using is Queen’s Park,
Loughborough (pictured
right).
 We chose this location as it is
relatively near where most of our actors live (i.e. It’s more
practical) and furthermore, park areas are also the types of
environments that both our focus group and questionnaire
candidates wanted to see in our opening sequence.
 Also, this park location will be a good setting for the some
of the flashbacks that we are including in our narrative, as
the location will help sufficiently supply exposition i.e. A
back story into Laura’s life.

6.  Keeping our locations fairly close to each other enables
more filming to get completed in one day and is also
more realistic (as gangs of this type would tend to
remain in the same sort of area).
 Moreover, these sorts of locations are where many
people meet up for either social or business related
events and subsequently, this Loughborough/local
location is what we need in order to fully represent and
highlight the ideologies, such as the importance of
community, within our narrative.

7.  The final location that we will be using is Tylers
Department Store in Loughborough.
 The reason we chose to use this location is the practicality
(as this shop to close to where we will be filming other
shots) and also, I know the staff members there as I work
there every Saturday and therefore, this location is quite
reliable.
 This location is in addition realistic to
the type of shops that may be in the
surrounding area of the set
neighbourhood. Furthermore the area is
occasionally victim to crime and
consequently, this location is perfect for our narrative.
 Moreover, the shop represents the affluence which is out of
reach fro our characters. However, this is represented by
society as a mark of success.
