The group had previously chosen a park as the filming location for their documentary on social media, but realized a park did not relate well to their topic. They decided to research more effective locations. Potential locations included Camden Town, Oxford Street, Hyde Park, and Covent Garden. Camden Town and Hyde Park were narrowed down as choices because they are well-known areas frequented by youth where socializing is common. Camden Town was ultimately selected because of its urban setting and many social places popular with youth.
2. changing Location
• We had previously had issues with our location as a park communicates things about
nature and doesn’t relate to our topic.
• So we decided to research into a more effective one.
• In order to gain higher marks and appeal to our target audience we need a location that
connects to our target audience and our topic.
• As our topic is on social media our location should compliment and communicate this.
• Therefore our location should ultimately be a very social place with many people
preferably teenagers and young adults.
• We narrowed it down to popular urban areas that will communicate a social generation.
4. chosen location
• We narrowed it down to ‘Hyde Park’ and ‘Camden Town’.
• They’re both well known areas where many of the younger generation go.
• Thus when our audience recognises it in our documentary they will be able to relate
more and ultimately be more intrigued.
• As our topic is about social media, these two locations reflect socialising the most.
Chosen location: • As Camden is popular for its urban setting and influx of youth
Camden Town and social places we decided this will be the locations for the
remaining drafts.
5. Chosen LoCation Photos
• A good spot to film presenter parts.
• The number of
passengers by is
always high in Camden
therefore reinforcing
the idea of socialising.
