Location

For the final scene where Gordon gets arrested, I have decided upon a location. It was important to Julian (my policeman actor) that it can't be too busy as he didn't want to cause a scene as it wasn't professional and he was actually meant to be on duty.


When walking through outer Wymondham, I came upon an alleyway that I thought was perfect, and whilst there isn't any graffiti for Gordon to correct, I have gathered up a number of band posters from a magazine and I can stick them to the wall to look like a poster board, which is ideally what I want.


There were 3 sections to the alleyway, all of which could be potential locations for the scene.

 The part of the alley was suitable, but because of the door, it made it seem more like a back garden rather than an alleyway. 


It also felt a bit too cramped.

This part of the alley was more suitable than the above location. However, it too seemed very cramped and enclosing. 


Also, the bike at the other end, I had no idea who it belonged to and it was chained to s part of the wall and couldn't move it out of the way. It was also a bit too long and I couldn't move further up as the wall had windows and I was looking for a blank wall.

At the end of the alley on the other side, was a large, empty brick wall which I felt was perfect and exactly what I was looking for.


It didn't have the enclosed feeling that the other 2 parts of the alley did and the wall was completely empty. I would probably film the scene facing the other way so the wall is on the right and the fence (unseen) is on the left.
