Filming Locations

We would like our trailer to begin with our protagonist character overlooking his city or neighborhood.  We would like this establishing shot to be taken from a high stand point therefore we want to go to a story block as it gives us a good view of the area. We would then take the shot from behind the protagonist to get a third person point of view.

We also aim to film within the estate that Ramel lives in. Actively walking or playing with his mates. From this our audience will be able to see Ramel's involvement in his community (not a positive one) and therefore be able to present his environment as one that he should aim to escape from. We felt we could achieve this with shots of parks and alley ways where we can show Ramel getting up to mischief. 

Our main character Ramel will find a leaflet for a talent show on a train. Because Ramel will be alone in this shot, our audience will be able to identify the emotions of this character without the interference of the other characters. It is also another way to establish the setting to our audience.

We will be shooting a scene in the home of ‘Ramel’, with his girlfriend as here we can show the characters in their comfortable environment to try and get a sense of both Ramel and Stacey's relationship. This scene will be where the climax starts off and ‘Ramel’ is left with decision of whether to take part in his talent show or meet up with his friends. 

One scene will be shot at a studio. We wished to present our protagonist as an aspiring rapper and therefore wanted to show him in his element. By doing this we feel that we would be further anchoring the musical element of the trailer and give the audience the opportunity to see Ramels talent and then why this talent show would be important to him.

We intend to film in the playground of characters (Ramel, Femi and Kieron) as we can present them in  a playful way so our audience can gain insight into the personality of each character when they are together as well as the influence they each have on one another.
