We decided to look at some potential locations for our film. We did this through our own knowledge of the area and also through researching/trawling through websites and photos. The photo credits for the pictures below go to George Plunkett. 
Location one - Britannia Barracks.
Theoretically, this would be the ideal location for our film, as (like in Remember Me)it is both urban and quiet, with an amazing view of the city and a big stretch of land. However, it is a popular place for walkers and there is a café inside the barracks so it would be hard for us to film without the public getting into shot. On top of this, it is hard to get to by foot (we would have to walk some of the way) and we would be carrying equipment so in reality would not be feasible.
Location two-St Leonard's Priory, Gas Hill.
Again, this is a difficult place to actually get to. Also, because it is not really a known location to the public anymore, there is not a proper path which would prove problematic when filming. The surrounding woodland blocks the view of the city so on camera, it wouldn't seem urban at all.
Location three-the river.
As said before, this is the most urban location we have considered so far. At first glance we thought it would be ideal. However, when we actually visited it, we realised that it was quite small and therefore it would be difficult for the victims to actually be followed or for a place to lay down flowers without it looking like a suicide (with the river constantly being in the background).
Location four-Mousehold heath.
This encompasses both location one and two as well as the surrounding area. It covers a considerable amount of land so there is a lot of choice. We will location scout here after considering the four locations above as it has both urban and rural elements in it and compliments our intertextual reference (Remember Me).
