Planning: Location Photos

Part of planning the soap is understanding the setting that would reflect our characters and plots. As of such we needed to find a dark area of town to film in to reflect the atmosphere of our Soap, and therefore establish a plausible setting.
Below are the photos of our locations with a description of how it'll play out in the film.

This is the road sign we will close the commercial on. As the Soap is called Avenue, we figured it would be appropriate if the street name managed to incorporate the name of the soap in one way or other. This find was very fortunate in that sense.

This is a florist where we're planning for the love sick teen to come out with some flowers. These flowers will then be thrown to the ground when he sees his love interest with another man. This is an event we're hoping some people would be able to relate to, or sympathise to, and therefore add to the show's appeal.

This courtyard is where we're planning a scene in which drugs are sold, or someone is mugged. Even though we're uncertain of the nature of the crime, filming it here will add to the realism, of the soap's events.

This dry cleaners is where we're planning to have our businessman come out with a fresh clean suit, at which point something would be spilled on it, or it would get ruined in some way. This will show a level of realism in the street life and also suggest that that character would have a short temper, as he will get very angry at his suit being ruined fresh from the cleaners.

This is another potential location for the street crime scene, being dark and secluded also.

This church tower is something we're hoping we can incorporate into the trailer somehow, as it is very symbolic for the town we're filming in, and an instantly recognisable landmark. This would add to the town's appeal, and also potentially add to the shock value of its resident's shady activities.

This shot features a polish supermarket and also a hair salon. This, if incorporated into the trailer, will show the town's ethnic diversity and also a vast variety of businesses available in the town.

This shot features the area's local pub. This is a location that is common amongst all soaps and we're hoping can act as our character's social hub.

Finally, this is a shot of a scenic bridge spanning the river. This can act as a scenic location in our trailer, should we choose to include it.
