Initial Location Ideas - Rural Station Location

Stations

Because the characters in our trailer live in a remote location, they will need to commute into cities, we've decided to show this with a shot of the characters running along a deserted station's platform and then over a bridge. These are the stations we have considered:

Dunton Green Station:

This station is a good location because it looks quite run-down so it would enforce the hopeless tone of the trailer. The bridge here look quite old fashioned. The buildings here are minimal and therefore make the station look more empty and desolate.

Bat and Ball Station:

Bat and ball station is an ideal location because it's usually quiet, or empty (as shown in this photo). The bridge is in the perfect place and as the station isn't manned by South-Eastern employees it would be easy to make this location look like it's not in use because trains are no longer running in the dystopia. Also as it's not too run-down it could look like the country's only just got into trouble. The buildings, however, make the scene look quite busy and therefore it looks like there's more hope for them.

We have decided to use a remote location to show the universality of the issues created by the internet and the power of viral information. Anyone can be affected, and everyone is. Typically, we have found that in many films the location is a fast-paced city, however we wanted to show that even those not in city centres are affected by the power of the internet.
