Locations
Eating Place (Restaurant): Places were people go to eat, e.g. café, restaurant. Table for
four and chairs. Maybe people in the background to show a busy area of eating.
Park: A park with a lot a grass. Our scenes are not going to need a lot of people, so we
don’t need a big group of people in the park, other than the grassy areas of the park,
the rest are not needed.
Roads with Bus Stops: The majority of our film will take place on a road like this. We
will need a natural looking road like this because this will add verisimilitude to our
film.
