Due to the location being an hour away, the filmmakers were unable to physically scout the area. They relied on descriptions from someone familiar with the location and used Google Maps satellite view to gain an overview and identify potential shooting positions. Google Street View also provided semi-panoramic views that helped them plan shot blocking without being on location.

1. Location: Brightlingsea

2. Scouting
Due to Brightlingsea being an hour away, this made it difficult for
us to go and physically scout the set. Liam has been there
numerous times and described the area to me to help aid in
planning the narrative. To get a better sense of the area we used
google maps satellite view to gain an overview of the area and
locate potential shooting positions.
Through the
satellite view we
were made aware
of a playground
that we could
potentially
incorporate in our
narrative.

3. Google Street View
Another tool that we
found extremely
useful was Google
Street View. It
allowed us to get a
semi-panoramic view
of our location and
help us plan the
blocking of our
shots.
