Our opening scene is set on the shingle of the Thames. Here are 3 locations we have found in London which would be perfect for the shooting. The calmness of the setting is something we have to portray through this opening scene - because we want it to contrast to the 'night before' club scene. There must be a feeling of isolation for the girl, given by an empty shingle beach, however we wanted to stay local in order to comply to the urban theme of our film.
These are three best locations we have found along the Thames: Blackfriars Bridge, the embankment beach and a small area of beach outside the Oxo tower. Another attribute these 3 areas have is the overhead covering of a industrial bridge - which immediately locates the scene in an urban space which is something that we want to make clear in our opening.
Here are the three areas on a map, showing their proximity to eachother. This will make it easier for us when doing a recce.
