Location RECCE

Location for: Bridge

Potential location:
Mile End Bridge
London E1 4LJ

Positives and negatives about location:

This location is based near our college
so it is easy to access. We are familiar
with the surroundings so we can
navigate around the area easily. It is an
active public place with lots of people.
However, the vast amount of traffic and
pedestrians can affect our filming.
Sometimes we need silence to build up
the tension in our film.

Sir John McDougal Gardens

121 Westferry Road E14

This location is easily accessible. It has

a riverbank, which will be useful for our
filming when the Jack in the box is
thrown down.
However, when filming there may be
issues regarding people because this
area gets busy during the evening
when people leave work. So we will
have to work around this to make sure
it does not affect our filming.

Blue Bridge
West India Lock

There will be appropriate sound since it

is a quiet area with less traffic and
pedestrians.
However, there is a safety risk because
the bridge is rather high. We might
need permission to use it.

Conclusion: We will use the Mile End Bridge location because it is

perfect for our first scene where the girl is running and the next
scene when the group of friends are socialising. It is also easy to
access since it is right next to our sixth form.
Location for: Street

Potential location:
Stepney Way
London E1 0RH

Positives and negatives about location:

This road will be useful because we
want the atmosphere of a school
setting. It is close to us so we can easily
access it.
The road can get really busy during
school hours with lots of student so it
might be difficult the film. With another
secondary school nearby, Stepney
Green School, it might cause further
difficulties.

Harley Grove Road

E3 2AT

This road is right outside our school so it

is easily accessible. We also have the
school atmosphere, which is needed, in
our filming.
However, the road can get really busy
during school hours with lots of
vehicles, parents and children so it
might be difficult the film. There may be
safety risk.

Conclusion: We will use the Harley Grove Road because it is situated

near sixth form so we can easily film our footage. It also has
appropriate mise-en-scene because we need a school setting.

Location for: Secondary School Playground

Potential location:
Sir John Cass Sixth Form
Stepney Way E1 0H

Positives and negatives about location:

This school is easy to get to because it is
located near us. We also know students
from here that can help us with filming.
However, we might not have access to
go in because we are external students
from another college. We might have to
receive consent from the Head.

Central Foundation Girls School

25-33 Bow Rd, London E3 2AE

We attend this school so it will be easy to

film because we know our way around
and do not need any permission. It has
appropriate mise-en-scene for a realistic
school setting.
However, the school playground can get
very busy which can disrupt our filming
or there may be issues trying to get
external students inside the school.

Cambridge Heath Sixth Form

Hadleigh Street, E2 0LD

It is a local college so it is easy to access.

However, there may be potential
problems trying to enter the sixth form
because we are external students.

Conclusion: We will be use Central Foundation School for our filming

because it is our sixth form so we know our way around. We can
access things more easily with the support of teachers. It also has
appropriate mise-en-scene for a realistic school playground.

Location for: Park

Potential location:
Greenwich Park
SE10 8QY

Positives and negatives about location:

It is a big park so we have plenty of
space to film. We are familiar with the
surroundings because we go there in
our own time. Many people visit it each
day so it is safe to use.
However, the parts of the park that we
may need t use may be busy.

Mile End Park

Bow, E3

This park is located right near our

college so we can easily access it. We
know our way round so we wont get
lost. There is appropriate mise-en-scene
for a sociable setting with friends.
However, there are potential risks of
injury with the river and bridge near by
so must be careful with our filming.

Victoria Park
Bow, E3 5TB

This park is always active with lots of

people, which means that it has
appropriate sound and mise-en-scene
for a realistic park setting.
However, it can get too busy sometimes
with lots of children and parents, which
can be a hazard to our filming.

Conclusion: We will be using Mile End Park because it is a sociable

setting used by the teenagers who are playing part in our film. As
we will be filming in the night, it can be frightening since it gets very
dark so it will add that horror element, conforming to the horror
genre.

Location for: Tunnel

Potential location:
Greenwich footpath tunnel
Cutty Sark Gardens, SE10 9HT

Positives and negatives about location:

This tunnel will be useful for our filming
because it is easy to access and it is
long enough for someone to be running
through it. It also has appropriate miseen-scene for a scary setting as tunnel.
However, as we havent been to the
location personally we might find that
there are issues that can restrict our
filming.

Bromley by Bow tunnel

London E3

When night falls it can get really dark

which is useful for our mise-en-scene to
create that horror effect.
However, many people use this tunnel
in the evening so it can get busy which
will affect our filming.

Tom Thumbs Arch

Bow, E3 2DT

This tunnel is much more smaller but it

has a scary element to it when it is dark.
It is located near our sixth form so it is
easy to get to.
However, the tunnel may be too short
which will affect our filming because we
need a long tunnel for when our
character is running.

Conclusion: We will use the Greenwich tunnel because it has

appropriate mise-en-scene for a sinister dark setting when the boy

is running away from the ghost. It is also long enough for our
filming.
