Location and Casting.



Location 

Opening Shots
The film opens with shots of an affluential part of London. This would set the scene and show the kind of life our character has become accustomed to. We could use areas such as Chelsea, Mayfair or Fulham were wealth is stereotypically found. The shots will show a man leaving an expensive and old georgian style house. This will be easy to film as we do not need to go inside the house, only use the stairs leading up to the house. However, to be sure, we will ask permission to film from the owner of the house/building we use. Our original idea involved filming inside an up market showroom apartment. We asked the company 'Berkley Group' to use one of their apartment to film in. Unfortunately, they declined.

Shots at Work
We were unable to secure office space outside of our school environment. Therefore we will have to film on school grounds. This will not be a problem, as their are many locations where we can film these scenes and it will be easy to get permission. 

Shots outside of Car Garage
To emphasize the main characters wealth, we show him outside a car garage, planning on purchasing a new car. The car garage we will use, 'De Stefano' is in Hayes, Kent. We will not need to film inside the garage, therefore we will not need to ask for permission to film.

Closing Shots
The closing scenes will be shot in a more urban, raw part of London such as Southbank, Camden or Lewisham. We will also need to film at a train station, as that is when we show the title of the film, as well as introducing the new situation for the previously wealthy, successful business man. After visiting many London train stations, I believe Grove Park Station, is the best location for the shots we need. 

Casting
Nameless Business Man... Connor Froy. 

(We originally casted one of ourselves as the main charceter, however, we lack the height needed for the characters description, but could be used for extras.)
