Film Setting - 2nd Januaray 2012

Keeley and I decided to shoot our film in Hastings, East Sussex - in the town and along the seafront, as it is a local area and it contains many places that would be ideal for the type of filming that we wished to do, i.e walking, train station filming etc. Also the placement was ideal as it represented a very average town in Britain that would happily home a girl of that age and background, aiding our realistic style that we want the film to emulate.



We filmed our protagonist sitting on the beach at the start and then walking along the beach and along the seafront with the sea and pier in the background. The seafront was a good place to start off our filming as the beach often symbolises tranquillity and escape and that is exactly what we wanted to be apparent that our protagonist went there for.



We also used Robertson Street as a shooting location as when it was busy and people were all out together and in groups around our protagonist, it made it more obvious how alone she was and how she doesn't want social communication at the minute.



One of our final scenes was at Hastings Station in which we see our protagonist look at train times and travel via train to St Leonards Warrior Square. This was a good location as it provided a variety of shots that were necessary to make our opening more diverse.
