LOCATION

Two members of my group, Kieron and Melissa went to our initial decision of location to show it's
aesthetics and whether it is suitable or not. We were so glad we did this filming and the extensive check around the location as we actually came to find that it was not as appropriate as we firstly assumed. This old street has been greatly modernised to an extreme where we realised it was most likely not even possible to do our recording here.. contemporary cafes and the arts college were what damaged the mise-en-scene. Although the area near the arts college and Saint Georges Street ect. is the location included in our concept board and where we explained to our media class we were going to film, we've now uncovered that this is in fact not appropiate. It was disappointing, as what attracted us to this location were the dark, chilling archways/ alleyways which were aged and suitable for the era of the film, as well as creating excellent framing and mysterious lighting. 


As you can see Kieron and Melissa later moved onto another location, Elm Hill - a extremely known place, featured in blockbusters such as Stardust. They simply followed a road called Prince street which lead them here. We had already discussed this location and it had also been mention within our media class - and we knew it would create the correct mise-en-scene, and were also hoping it would have enclosed areas where we could gain that dim, gloomy lighting. We wanted this as it would aid us in creating a concealed ambience. After inspecting this area we discover it was actually perfect! 
Luckily it hadn't been particularly modernised, and everything still appeared authentic. It also included a coffee house, in an old thatched roof house, this was valuable to us as there's a scene in our filming where our femme fatale were enjoying a beverage. Obviously we had to go and investigate this area too so it would continiue with the correct vibe and aesthetics we intended.
Overall this location looks very promising!
