Choices of Parks- Reason For Chooisng Ours.

When deciding the park to choose we considered the size,bench space, the what way the bench is facing,the area (e.g- roads, neighborhood) and the popularity of the park. We based our decision on these factors but also how well it would work for filming. We considered many parks (Pictures to be followed up son) but this park was perfect for our filming location!

Contributing factors which led to our choice:
Bench- The reason the bench was important  for our film was that we needed the bench to face the park, not be to involved with the park, i.e off to the side slightly, and we also needed it to have space around it not only for filming but for safety reasons. Thankfully we found a park with these factors that we were looking for.


Size and Area- We were looking for a good size park that wasn't too big, as we were only using the first half of a park, we also needed a park that wasn't on a main road, we needed a park near a street, so the car can park up along the side and we can see the car from the view of the park. We also needed the park to be big enough inside to accommodation our crew and also have a good "hiding place" for all the equipment that we didn't want to be seen while filming. Also the park was right on an ally way which meant that it fit in very well with our story line. The park we chose was spacious enough for everything that we wanted plus it was a good location as it was quiet. 


Park Popularity- We monitored whether this park was near a school or not- if the park was near a school then it may mean that the park would be used a lot and give us not a lot of time to film. We also based the park popularity on what the weather would be like on the day of filming. It was predicted that the weather would be overcast and sometime rainy which we banked on being the weather for the day, however the weather turned out to be sunny meaning the park got more attention than we were hoping.


As well as the reasons mentioned above, we also chose our park for its:

• Good space
• Quiet Atmosphere
• On a street
• Good bench area and Space
• Hidden atmosphere
• Unpopularity
• and Meeting our expectations of what our park should look like overall.
