Location Scouting - Joshua Manley 9645 and Kieran Panchal 9652

Location 1:

Locations 2&3

After contacting the owners of these two locations and requesting the possible hire, I learned that it would be very difficult to hire a location similar to the ones above due to their specifications and size, therefore making them very expensive and ultimately out of our budget.

Drive Two, Bethnal Green, E1

Shootfactory.co.uk

This warehouse suited the theme of our narrative as it was large enough to allow us to create a sense of space and atmosphere in the setting. In addition, the industrial nature of the location and run-down feel also would be ideal for creating the context and establishing the genre around the narrative. We also contacted several agencies that provided a hiring service for this location but unfortunately this location was over budget and therefore had to be ruled out.

Grange Barn, Coggeshall

The Grange Barn in Coggeshall would have also been a suitable location for our shoot, as the barn would have created an effective rural aesthetic. We figured that because this was a national trust site, the hiring of this space may be discounted or easily accessible. After getting in contact with the site to ask about availability of the location, we were unfortunately sent a response denying us access as live music is not permitted within the site, but is necessary in our plot. The email below shows the response.

Copped Hall, Epping

This Georgian mansion overlooking a landscaped parkland in rural Epping would have been idyllic, as logistically it would have been due suitable to its location close to where we are based, meaning that the transport of equipment and travel would have been more manageable. The aesthetic of the location was particularly fitting, as the rural setting and antique feel would have been suitable for the genre of our piece. Unfortunately, after contacting Copped Hall, we found that the building was closed during the period that we wished to film in, as evidenced below.
