The first location that will be used for my short film is The
Whitings estate. This is because, in the introduction of my
short film, two of the main characters exit the estate as they
make their way towards the local shop. It follows the general
codes and conventions of a black-character based film as it
suggest the idea that the black race is bought up in poverty,
living in rough estates rather than in a nice house which is
where the white race are perceived to live. Typical props and
objects include the likes of cars which makes the setting more
realistic and believable. During the early hours of the
morning through to the afternoon, the setting has fantastic
lighting, which allows me to present my characters in the best
light. It also meant that if I needed or wanted to, I could
make it darker without affecting the realism of the scene.

The
second location that I used for my production was the local
corner shop. The location didnt have a whole lot of relevance
in the storyline of the production; however it conforms to
stereotypical settings of black films. The shop itself doesnt
look very profession with houses stacked on-top of it,
suggesting the area isnt as wealthy in comparison to other
locations where white people may reside.
