Locations


We selected three primary locations due to each and everyone of their own unique cultural differences: China Town, Brick Lane and Greenwich.
Before we initiate the storyboarding process, each location was scouted beforehand in order us to be more familiar with the location as well as the possibilities of various shots.


We discovered limitless amount of possibilities in China Town regarding the creativity and substantiality of the cinematography. The only anticipated problem is timing and obstacles because the main street is usually crowded at most times of the day, the deliveries trucks seem constantly parked along the side of the street as well. We hoped to absolve this problem via arriving at the location early in the morning.





After reviewing Brick Lane as one of the locations, we felt that the location lacks obvious quality of cultural recognition to it and hence might be difficult for the audience to relate especially for foreigners. As a result, we changed the location to Borough Market in London Bridge and added Camden as an extra location.



Beautiful and locally known Borough Market.


Camden is an interesting tourist spot which is somewhat less pretentious and commercial as the Big Ben and the London Eye we felt this could thus bring forth a more powerful cultural impact to the piece.
