Location research

1. Location Research
‘Underground Kings’

2. Cambridge Estate
We will be filming a large portion of our opening sequence on and
around Cambridge Estate we have chosen to do this as this location fits
very well with the theme of our opening sequence two of our main
characters are from working class families, Living on an estate. We will
film all of our gang scenes on the estate this will be so we get an
authentic gang vibe. Access issues we could face with Cambridge estate
are that is it the councils property so we will need to speak to Kingston
council and check that is it okay for us to film here, we will do this by
going into the community building in Cambridge Gardens and speaking
to the people in there. As this is a very busy estate with people and
vehicles coming in and out all day we will need to take safety measures
to ensure ourselves and our actors remain safe, we will do this by not
filming on or close to the main road and by checking the area we chose
to film in thoroughly, We have preformed a recce of the grounds and
have found it to be predominantly a safe location to film.

3. Adventure Park
This is a public park which allows access to the public 24 hours a day so
there will be no access issues with this location. We chose this location as
this is a typical setting that teens in our opening sequence would hang
around in. Scenes filmed in this location will include the opening scene of
our sequence when Jay our protagonist of the film is slowly dying. As this is
a public park there could be some health and safety issues for us, these may
include such things as cars driving in and out of the park, this could effect us
as these cars could potentially harm us or our actors.

4. Living Room
This will be used for only one scene but a very important one it is when we are first introduced to Disney we see her
putting money into her mothers purse, we needed to use a house to showcase Disney living environment and what
she comes from, as it is my home there will be no issues with access. Heath and safety issues we may face in my
home are very slim they only issue we could come across is the fact that the lighting kit we are borrowing from
school (to ensure we get the best lighting) has a very high voltage and has been known to blow the electricity when
pupils have taken them home in order to prevent any issues we will also be borrowing an electric adapter, another
health and safety issue also stemming from the light kit is the wires these will need to tapped down in order to
create a safe working environment. This specific location doesn't necessarily link to the genre of our opening
sequence however it is essential we show Disney supporting her family. Obviously as this is my home we did not
need to preform a recce but our production team have been here before and know what to expect.
