Potential Locations
- Description
Photograph of the
location
Google Map (Identify the
precise location)
Is it suitable (think
about genre,
narrative, research
youve undertaken)
how? Why?
Subway- This is one
of the main
locations I need for
my film opening. I
need the tunnel
and also around it.
I think the location
is very suitable for
my film. The area
itself is very
unsettling and could
be used to make a
creepy atmosphere.
Also when it gets
dark the lights
create a very eerie
mood.
Access Issues
The location is easy to access when on foot and is not far from
crew members houses if weneed to be there for any reason.
There are also car parking spaces not far from the location so
that is not a problem. Access for equipment would be easy and
mobile phone signal is good.
Lighting Issues
When it gets dark, lighting is very dark. The dark lighting
creates a useful effect however. Difficult to work in such dark
environment.
Sound Issues (If applicable)
Noise of overhead traffic is apparent. Near local pedestrian
areas. Wind and other environmental sounds
