location

This the area we chose to do our film in. It is located in Bromford Birmingham. We chose this area as the setting as it is a council estate, which is a deprived area. As our trailer is a film with the gerne of social realism, this deprived area is the ideal place. The aim of our film is to show others how people from socially deprived areas are affected by their trapped status. Our film trys to capture the problems faced by people and the realisation that they face everyday. The area is good for this as it can be easily spotted by the surroundings that this is a deprived area. For example there is lots of rubbish, litter, graffti, damaged property, council houses, high rised flats, also there is a few signs the area placed their by the police aimed to warn the public of the crime within the area. (see above) This provides our trailer with effective mise en scene. For all these reasons I believe that this location is the best setting for our trailer. The house we use within the trailer is actually a council masanette within the area of filming. So this also fits the theme that we are trying to create and shows more of the socially deprived.
