Locations for filming COUNTERPLAY

 We decided to film the alleyway scene and the leaving the house party scene in an alleyway in Eaton near Ali's house. This firstly was a convenient location for us because it was near school and we could all walk there with no trouble, it also worked because in the dark the alleyway has an eerie atmosphere in the dark and was perfect for the atmosphere and aesthetic we were aiming for. The alleyway had a few streetlights we could use for our diegetic lighting and there were bushes on the side we could hide in and use non diegetic torchlight to cast shadows across our antagonist's face. The red line on the photo is the direction the alleyway takes behind the houses and the red X is where we were filming which was the corner under a streetlight.


This is the entrance to the alleyway where we were going to film.
 
Below are the photos of the alleyway in the dark so we could get an idea of the aesthetic and style of mise en scene we would have with the film opening.





 
This was created by Amy Roberts (me) but all decisions were made as a group.
