Mood Board #1: Location - BRIGHTON



A potential location that we have chosen for our film is Brighton, and more specifically, Brighton Pier. Brighton Pier is a very iconic location that isn't too far from where we live. Also it would be good as we currently don't have any coastal locations, and they look very high budget. The Pier would be an exciting place to have a chase sequence - along the length of the pier. This wouldn't take too much time to film, but it would be tricky to film it effectively. Underneath the pier is also a good location, as there are lots of metal poles that could be used as obstacles. As it is by the sea we could take the fight into the sea and have a fight amongst the waves. We would have to be very careful with this though, as we don't want people to think that we're actually fighting and we don't want to get the camera wet.



Around Brighton there are a number of other locations that we could film at. There is the Brighton Pavilion, which is a Georgian palace with public access to the grounds. We'd be able to film a few shots in front of this just to fill space in the trailer and to make it look higher budget. These are likely to be just shots of a character standing with his back to the camera, looking towards the Pavilion. There is also the old burnt down  pier, which would look spectacular at sunset. We could get some really iconic looking, picturesque shots there. Brighton would be an exciting location, and would work as a good contrast to the urban city settings.
