Location

Now we have settled definitively on our idea, we need to start thinking about where we are going to film it. Given the nature of the film, we feel we need to use gritty locations that convey the bleakness of the character's predicament.

This mood board gives an idea of the kind of locations we want to use. We want to use a setting with lots of graffiti and battered-looking buildings to represent urban decay. A lot of these images also feature backdrops of council estates and tower blocks to represent the lower economic background of our characters. The inclusion of a picture of a fast food joint also indicates this, as the characters are eating junk food instead of nutritious meals, presumably because their family lives are less than traditional.

All that's left to do now is find locations in Peterborough that have these features and can accurately convey the connotations we want.
