When originally planning our short film we camer up with a list of over ten different locations that we could film at that would work effectivly in our narrative, these included Brighton Pier, The Pavillion Gardens, a swimming pool, a boat yard, a castle and a bowling alley. As we narrowed down our options we found some locations would be possible to film at and others werent and evetually we had our six locations.
We rang up Brighton Pier to get permission to film on and they agreed that it was fine, the rest of final choices we believed were all public places and we wouldn't need permission to film at them. However on the second day of filming we arrived at The Pavillions Gardens and a member of security asked us if we had permission which we reluctantly denied. So we were left wondeing the streets of Brighton in an absolute panic as it was one of the last days free we had to film, so we brainstormed a few possible ideas and decided that Brighton Beach would be suffice.
Filming at Brighton Beach worked well in our film as it was completly empty, which helped to reflect our characters isolation and it also has connotations of somewhere peaceful and happy which is exactly where a boy who feels bullied would chose to escape to.
