This is a picture of ‘London city airport’. We will be using this area because it is needed for out short film to show where the main character will be landing from a country abroad.  The advantages of us using this venue for our short film is that it is the closest of the airports to us to the journey will be quite short.  The fact that we will be filming from the outside near a taxi stand to show his arrival will give a more realistic feature to our short film as it is very cliché in many past films that have been made.

 

This is a replica picture of the taxi we will be using.  In reality the taxi would not be at the airport instead we will be getting permission at a more local taxi/mini cab office in order to film our scene inside of the car. The advantages of us doing things this way would be that we would save money by not actually spending money to have the taxi go to city airport as it would cost £40. We would also save time because the minicab/ taxi office is very local to Leyton Sixth Form College.

We will be using ‘Liverpool street station’ to show a scene which consist of the taxi driver dropping the main character here. The main character will be lost and the fact that this station is always busy will give a sense of realism as the busy environment will compensate and work in our favour to show the character’s confusion. He will be asking random people how to get to Stratford station of which we would have pre planned this and have asked for the people’s permission.

We will be using a London bus to shoot a scene where the main character will have a sort of day dream of someone who he will fall in love with. The advantages of using a London bus would be that it could sort of replicate a person’s modern day routine on public transport.

 

After the main character has taken his bus journey, he will arrive in Stratford station in which he will be again asking some people how to get to the Olympics, we are using Stratford station as it is a refurbished station and has gain recent publicity due to the Olympics. He will then make his way on to the stadium be very excited however he will found out that the Olympics have finished and he would be very disappointed as the security guard will tell the main character that his ticket is outdated.
