Blog Background

Why have we chosen this background? 

we have chosen as a group to have landscapes of London as the background of our blogs because, it links in with our genre. Many crime/gangster films are set within towns and we have also decided to shoot our in Croydon (South London) so this works well. Also we have all gone with similar coloured themes such as reds and blacks.

Talent sourcing

Leo is a 17 boy, who attends an acting school at the weekends along with my group member faith. We thought that he would be suitable as he is the right age for the role, looks good, has a cheeky look to him and is a good actor on stage and film. In the past he has been within in short films, so he understands the dedication that is needed and that he is reliable. 

Location

Why have we chosen this: 

We have chosen to film our opening here because, we wanted somewhere the door opened in the hallway and out of my group this was the only house possible. Also the fact that it is located in croydon (south London) kind of fits with the background of the whole narrative. Even though it is a family home i think i could be quite east to make into a male orientated home.
