location

park royal tunnel- why we chose this as our original setting is because of the dark setting we can implicate by generate with each of our shots. this will truly clarify our camera work. this will be our secondary location as it cannot signify the importance of our primary location.

another location we chose to shoot in was grand union village, why we chose this location is because it is a convenient location to film clear shots where the set up of the area is relative to our production. grand union village also features a canal which carefully links to the plot of possesses elements of violence.
