Recce: Sir John McDougal Gardens (SJMG)

This picture is from Ocean Wharf, which is part of SJMG. In the final scene, the homeless child is unable to bear the suffering and her life so she decides to take her own life by drowning herself. This location is the most suitable for this scene because it is attached to the park. There is a large open stretch of water which is beneficial for filming because we will be able to film from various angles. The shore is a good length and width because we will be able to place the protagonists shoes on the shore therefore alerting the audience that 
something has gone wrong.


This is the entrance of SJMG. It is suitable because it has a long and wide fence. The protagonist will discover the park's metal fence and will touch the fence as she walks into the entrance. The name of the park is written on an entrance sign which will show the audience where the character is residing.





The open greenery shows Ocean Wharf very clearly. This will be used as an indication to the audience that something dangerous may happen to the protagonist. The open stretch of water looks threatening and will cause an emotional response from the audience.
This is the playground area of the park and we will show  some children and their families playing and enjoying themselves. When the protagonist is shown, she will be vulnerable and isolated which will provoke an emotional response from the audience.


Recce: Heron Quays DLR



This is the Heron Quays platform which we will be filming on. In this photo, the DLR has arrived at the platform and in our film, the establishing shot will be one of a DLR train arriving at the platform. The platform is relatively wide and long which is safe and we will not be using a tripod- as instructed by Mr. Paul Curtain from TFL.

Docklands Light Railway station at Heron Quays

The platform is wide, long and clean. As it is not in broad daylight and has a large roof, the platform will look dark and brooding, which is exactly how the main character feels internally. The station is not busy, which makes it perfect for filming. Also, the characters internal isolation is shown through the quietness of the station.























The stairs which the character will descend. The station is safe and simply designed, which is suitable for filming.

Email: Filming on the Heron Quays DLR platform.




This is the email I sent to the DLR Head Office, asking for permission to film on the Heron Quays DLR Platform. I briefly outlined the storyline of my film, and I was very impressed with how fast the DLR Head Office responded, along with some support for my film.

Prop/Costume Shopping

On the 13th Jan, 2014, Shima and I went to Stratford Shopping Centre to search for a suitable snow globe- the precious possession of the main character in our film. We found a small snowglobe in "Card Factory" which was suitable for the character because it was childish and "girly".

Costumes

I created a table about costumes which will be used in the film.
