The document discusses four potential locations for filming a soap opera trailer: The Rising Sun pub, an alley next to the pub, Roseberry Park, and a house kitchen. The Rising Sun pub was initially selected for its resemblance to a EastEnders setting, but filming inside was scrapped due to concerns about breaking glass. The alley and park offer low-key lighting options. The house kitchen was chosen to film a domestic violence scene and a wine spill scene instead of the pub. Potential hazards like traffic are noted, and permission from the pub owner would be required.

1 St. Andrew’s Catholic School Unit G324: Advanced Portfolio in Media Locations Location 1. The Rising Sun Pub 2. Alley 3. Roseberry Park 4. House - Kitchen The location we have chosen is The Rising Sun pub in Epsom. We chose this location because it is a pub surrounded by a street of houses, we felt this would be a suitable place to film our soap as it is a similar setting inspired by Eastenders. As Eastenders is a popular soap we decided this type of area must be suitable for a soap opera. We had a few ideas of panning shots to show the surrounding area and also maybe a low angle shot that slowly rises to a high angle shot of the pub. There is an alley right next to the pub which we felt would be suitable for our soap as we need an area with low key lighting which can be more difficult to obtain outside. However, the alley is covered by trees so may be more low key lighting. We also decided to use Rosebery Park as one of our locations as this is an open space where we can get shots in high key lighting but also darker low key lighting in the areas more covered by trees. We considered using a graveyard as a location for a close up shot of a grave stone or a long shot of all the grave stones to reveal a death, however we decided against this as we felt it would be more difficult to obtain permission to film there and it may be disrepectful, therefore we decided to use a different element to reveal the death instead which will be a close up shot of a death certificate. The final location we have chosen is a house. This will be one of our group memebers houses and so they have given us permission to be there. We chose to use a house as it will give the trailer a more realistic and relatable feel for our audience and also a setting of a kitchen will fit better with the domestic violence scene. We also considered a house as in one of our scenes we want a close up shot of a galss of red wine to spill over, we were going to film this in the pub but after consideration we decided it wouldn’t be a good idea to film that scene in the pub as the owners wouldn’t want to clean it up. Therefore, we chose to film this scene in the kitchen so we can have a close up of the wine spilling over into the sink so it doesn’t create a mess. However, after further consideration we decided not to use inside The Rising Sun pub as a location for filming. This is because the only scene we were going film inside the pub was when a wine glass gets smahsed. We decided that this was not a good idea to film inside the pub as the owners may not want us doing that, we therefore chose a different location, a
2 kitchen in a group members house, to film this scene instead. We are still using the outside of the pub and the surrounding location to film. Suitability, permissions, why there etc. Potential Hazards/Risks Location specific - Why? How will this be resolved? There may be hazards of cars as there is a road in one of our locations, however this location is not in the town centre and therefore the road isnt that busy. We could resolve this hazard by always staying clear of the road. Also, we will need to obtain permission from the owners of ‘The Rising Sun’ pub if we want to film inside the pub. We can do this by writing a letter or sending an email to the owner’s asking for permission to film in the pub. The other locations we have chosen are public spaces, therefore we will not need to write a letter asking for permission as they are open to the public. The house that we are oing to use will be one of the group memebers houses therefore they have given us permission to film there.
