Location Scouting

Our media group looked around Dunton Green today to see if we could find any useable locations in our opening.


The owner of a cafe called Bojangles has told us that we are welcome to use his shop to film in if needed. The shop has a large front window which will be perfect for the shot of the two brothers in a trolley falling over whilst everyone in the shop stares at them. There is a calm atmosphere inside with music playing and the cosy space will contrast greatly to what will happen outside.
There is a very large Tesco close to the cafe which we could ask to borrow a trolley from to shoot our scene with and then return it.



Next we looked at a residential area which has a 'reserved parking for flats only' sign which we could subtly show at the start so that the audience subconciously know what the ending may be. There is a small park area in this block of houses where the parkour brother can jump over the slide as its not too high, and followed by the silent slide down of the younger brother. There are also many fences to choose from which the parkour brother can jump over but meanwhile the younger brother can simply walk through a gap or a gate in the fence. As well as we found two tall trees together with a slight gap that the brothers could jump through, however the older brother could do a flip or a roll coming out of the gap in the trees whilst the younger brother stumbles out with leaves in his hair. And obvious bonus to the residential area is that there are many roads that we can film long shots for the two brothers running side by side.




There was some railing, however it was not that slanted so may be hard to slide down and it is located next to a wine shop and a bath store which is not ideal. To extend our location scouting we will look around Tonbridge and further into Dunton Green to see if there are any other possibilities but it will be beneficial for everyone involved if we have one main area of shooting instead of having to drive to two different areas of Kent.
