The document discusses locations used in a trailer for a media project created by students Liam Quinn, Terna Jogo and Syan Magahy. Several locations are discussed, including the Admiral Hawk Pub, Sunbury Park, Sunbury Graveyard, Forge Lane, and a dark room at St. Paul's Catholic College. The pub is used to establish the working class setting. Sunbury Park shows a happy dating scene in a flashback. The graveyard creates suspense as the villain is dragged toward it. Forge Lane provides more context. The dark room leaves the audience with a cliffhanger by showing the main character opening his eyes at the end.

Shots From Admiral Hawk Pub
This pub has been used to familiarise
the audience with the setting as it is
an act of ‘Personally identity’ (Katz).
This may be seen as repeating (Steve
Neale) conventions from current soap
operas such as Eastenders. The
Admiral Hawke (pub in picture) has
been represented in this trailer to
signify (De Saussure) that it may be
the meeting point for most of the
characters for when they want to
celebrate an occasion. In the scene
there should be a happy couple
enjoying themselves, but this will
soon become ironic as the date turns
out to be a trap for the male character.
This represents the female gender to
be more dominant (Rebecca Feasey)
as she has lured the antagonist
(Nathan) into a trap.
We used the pub in our trailer to
present a working class
(Maslow’s Social Climbers)
society, which gives the trailer
the soap opera feeling. For
example we looked at several
Eastenders trailers and noticed
that the pub is always presented
which gave us the idea. Not only
does it present a working class
society but also creates
verisimilitude of how we use the
pub to film a date which is also a
mixture of Male and Female Gaze
(Laura Mulvey)

Shots From Sunbury Park
The Sunbury Park was one of the
locations that were briefly used in our
trailer for one of the flashback dating
scenes. The park setting connotes a
happy atmosphere; this may also be used
as a ‘diversion’ (Katz) for the audience as
it is a chance for them to escape to a
happy and joyful environment if they
need it. The point of the flashback in this
scene is to present the audience the
events that were prior to the kidnapping
of Nathan. The shot will be from a far
distance of the couple holding hands
whilst walking towards the camera. the
reason why we thought that it was best
that the characters held hands was to
signify (De Saussure) the relationship
between them.
The camera shot will be still
whilst they walk towards us,
instead of recording each step
they take, we will time lapse
the movement as they come
closer and closer. The
relationship between these
two may have a correlation
with the audience as there
may be personal identification
(Katz) with the situation of
each character.

Shots From Sunbury Graveyard
We used the Sunbury Graveyard as a
location in our trailer; this was an
essential part of the story as it
initiates a cliff-hanger. The graveyard
creates suspense towards the trailer,
as we see our two female
protagonists dragging the villain
(Propp) Nathan, towards the
Graveyard. We used the Sunbury
Graveyard as a location in our trailer;
this was an essential part of the story
as it initiates a cliff-hanger
(Abercrombie 1995). The graveyard
creates suspense towards the trailer,
as we see our two female antagonists
dragging the cheating dirt bag
Nathan, towards the Graveyard.
Here my group and I have
thought carefully about the
surroundings of the scene,
which relates to mise en
scene. This is a utopian
setting that’s ironic due to
the dystopia as Nathan is
being dragged to his fate.

Shots From Forge Lane
These shots of Forge Lane were
important in our trailer as it gave
the audience a sense of location
that the trailer is set in. These shots
will be briefly shown near the end
of the trailer as a flashback for the 3
stars. The shots that we will take
may present people from the
community walking around in the
background. This road is near the
pub that we also used in the trailer,
which connotes a working class
environment. This road was used
for several scenes as well as being
close to the graveyard. The
characters of our trailer were
presented down this road as they
argue at each other.
The audience may feel a little
sympathetic (Maslow’s) for Nathan
as he is violated by the other two
protagonists (Courtney and
Chelsea). But other may feel as if he
has been punished correctly for his
prior actions.

Shots From Dark Room in St Paul’s
Our School’s dark room has been used
in our trailer just before the end of the
trailer where we will have our main
actor in a dark space to give the
audience the illusion that he is in a box.
The dark room scene comes directly
after our graveyard shooting which
should give the audience the idea that
we have buried Nathan (or Taylor). The
dark room will present the cliff-hanger,
as our star, Nathan, will suddenly and
instantly open his eyes as we have a
close up shot of his face.
