Ringwood town centre and outskirts will serve as the starting location where the son says goodbye to his father. Footage will also be captured along the road to Bransgore and Burley for hitchhiking shots, as the winding landscape allows for changing scenery. Hengistbury Head will provide a sense of reaching the "end of the Earth" for closing shots. Bournemouth's beaches and gardens offer ideal settings to show the character taking in new surroundings.
