Our teen drama is focused on West London youth- so we wanted an area which represents London youth. There are many locations that came to mine whilst taking ideas. We wanted to do it in a estate as that's the main connotation of Gang violence etc.
One of the location was racecourse which is in Northolt. This estate isn't as raw and dangerous as other Estates In London. This is an option because is spacious and represents the London Image: Brick flats, balcony and warning signs everywhere. Also pole lights all around the area. From watching this teen drama the audience will know that it is London as there is the Ealing Logo. This estate has connotations of a Raw estate that is why is an option.
.The second Location was Grand Union Village. This is a massive estate (village) with over a thousand flats and houses. This choice is being considered as the main option as there are many areas where we can film. This area represents all types of families in England. One mothers, young mothers and normal families. This could be strong contender for the location as its a typical estate in London. This village is very diverse all types of people live in Grand Union Village. Also in Grand Union Village there is high amounts of violence.
Lastly the Location which came to mind was Golf Links. This is one of the most dangerous and most violent estate in London. Throughout the years it has calmed down from violence and has been developed. The estate has massive tower of flats and is a common image in London. The tower of flats usually be in Violence teen drama's e.g. Kidulthood and Adulthood. As you see in the image its very dull. This shows the whole place is very depressing and people don't enjoy to live in that estate.
Other concepts of mis-en-scene
The Teen Drama is going to be filmed at night. This is because we don't see violence mid day or in the morning. So as a group we opted to go for the night. The costumes in our teen drama would be what gangsters usually where- Hoodies, tracksuits and gloves. These types of clothes intimidate people in the U.K and represent gangsters, so its a key concept in our teen drama.
Overall this is how gangsters are represented in the United Kingdom. Usually living/hanging out in Estates. The intimidating clothing.
