Location

Location location location. its a huge issue in film making. especially in a film such as ours which required good lighting and so needed to be shot around mid day and also required relatively empty locations. this being difficult in one of the most crowded cities in the world. a huge mistake we made in our first draft was that we chose a location that was close rather than one that was actually good. during filming we had to constantly cut due to passers by and drivers were a big hazard throughout filming. also it did not give us great opportunity to work with as it was simple roads.

we eventually found a relatively empty place. we found a series of council flats with extremely interesting architecture. filled with twists and turns perfect for a chase scene and also the paths were wide enough for the crew to manege all the equipment easily. also it was all made of grey concrete which simultaneously added to the atmosphere of the shot but did not attract any attention away from the cast.
