Final Locations by Lisa Walden

Shoreham-By-Sea

Our first location that we will shoot parts of our film at will be at the picturesque Shoreham-by-Sea. We chose this stunning location as, not only is it peaceful enough to hear the waves against the shore, but it perfectly contemplates the story in our film. 

As we wanted the male character to draw places which define beauty, peacefulness and memories, this place was an excellent choice to choose. And thereby, Shoreham-by-Sea is the very first location our young character will draw, and arrive in.

Brighton Pier

The second carefully chosen location choice is Brighton pier. Not only does this place thrive with entertainment, fun and laughter but it's the perfect hang-out location any teenage boy would desire, and so we have therefore contemplated on taking shots of him inside the loud, bustling arcade. 

 Brighton is a city that attracts young males for its excellent social and entertainment purposes, thus we thought that our character would have chosen to draw, and opt to be in the heart of the city of fun. 

Compared to our previous location, this one has great contrast, which works in ways perfect for telling our story. Altering from a silent, peaceful location and then switching to something much more vibrant bustling with people can either be quite a drastic, risky change, but in our case, it has great significance. 

Brighton Pavilion 

Since our second location is in Brighton, we thought we'd search around for some other locations close to the pier. The Pavilion is such a beautiful, breathtaking location that one can't possibly resist filming here. Furthermore, our last location, Brighton Pier, was so wonderful yet so loud with lots going on, we thought we'd play with contrasting surroundings and allow our character to escape to somewhere much more peaceful and relaxing. Somewhere where he can soak in memories and thoughts. Brighton Pavilion is perfect. 

So, after our character ends up on the pier and goes back home again, he contemplates on a new visit, this one being the Pavilion. Another reason why we chose this is because it seems to be a popular location among families, so it would have been somewhere that our character, as a young boy, visited; we wanted to make our locations personal to him. 

Derelict Playground

Shooting at a derelict playground was a must for our film to truly speak to the audience. We wanted to show that his drawings and transportation's were beginning to go wrong. This too has an impact upon the audience; it leaves them bewildered, questioning what is going on. 

As our plot reveals, the boy draws and intends upon visiting a beautiful, lively playground, but is then deeply distort when he arrives at something a little more dead. This reveals to the audience that something slightly spooky is happening. The questions left are those such as, "why is the playground derelict", "what's going on"

We intend on creating this effect on the audience; we want them to feel spooked with unanswered questions flying around, leaving them with a passion to watch more.
