Media Opening Sequence - Location Scouting

Waltham Cross alleyway: 

This is the location that we shot the main scene of the opening sequence. We decided to do it in the Waltham Cross alleyway because of the fact that its quiet, which meant we most likely wouldn’t have had any distractions or problems with the sound and filming of the scene. Also, the fact that this scene was shot here meant that we would be bothering less people then we would have bothered if we shot it in the main road, which is considerably busier. All of these factors made the Waltham Cross alleyway the ideal place to shoot this scene.

Ponders End flats:

The Ponders End flats were another ideal location to film the beginning of our opening sequence. The appearance of the flats gives us the exact image and persona that we were trying to achieve in the fact that it is an estate looking area that looks like it could be quite dangerous. This increases the dramatic and thrilling aspect of the film. We also had access to a flat in one of the buildings, this allowed us to get shots of the character actually coming out of a flat, into the corridor and outside of the building itself.

 Bedroom shot:

The bedroom shot was filmed at Benjamin’s house, this was because we felt that this bedroom would be more suitable for the film then the one that was in the Ponders end flats.
