Location Scouting

We need two locations for our opening a workshop were the book will be created and then out on the streets possibly in town or in a park in order to show our protagonist as a street performer.
the second scene is set in a workshop.



The first location we looked at is a friends workshop which would be good as there's a lot of space and looks messy and therefore would look like a place where something is made. However, there is a lot of natural light coming through the big windows which would give away our darkened figure; we would have to sort this or it will limit what time in the day we film.




The second location we've looked at is Sam's old dining room that is under construction as there is a lot of space to set up a set and space to film. We've chosen to look at here as there's less limitations to what we can set up as the space is about to be redone anyway. The only problem is that the time slot to use this spot will be limited to a few weekends so we will have a tight schedule to film.

For the outside shots we have looked to film at St Andrews park at the end of the car park so there are people in the backdrop of the park but also has the road and path to show that our character is outside entertaining and not just in a garden somewhere.





The next location we looked at is Hylands Park as there is lots of open space we can use and there should be people in the background as it is a public area again creating an image of a street performer.






The final location we scouted is a spot on patching hall lane; a perfect place for filming the scene we want however we would end up having to film in the road which is very impractical and not particularly safe to do so.
