Initial Location Ideas (Ella)

One of our key scene is a refugee protest scene. It is crucial that this scene is realistic and ideally in a well known location. We originally wanted to film in Parliament Square London as it is a well recognised area as well as being commonly used for protests. However we had concerns with this location as although it is public we did not know; whether you needed permission and who you'd have to get permission from, if people would believe we were actually protesting and also if our filming would be seen as a security risk.

After researching we found that it would be unlikely we could film here. (Click the photos to learn more)

Another possibility is outside Westminster Abbey, a place also known to have protests. Again "Westminster Abbey is public space, but apparently protesting on that site is considered trespassing." However it seems more likely we will be able to possibly film outside on the grounds if we can  contact them and arrange.

Other possibilities we can look into, is green screen and finding similar places and using clever editing to make it appear as if we are there.
