Location Recce - Beaches

A main part of our opening sequence is the beach location, where the main protagonist goes to reflect on her past friendship. We looked at two different beach locations Hastings being our groups initial idea as its close to a town which could also be used in our sequence.

The whether on the day of the recce was perfect for what we want in our opening; grey sky and dry, by having the correct whether we can picture how the sequence would hopefully look. As a group we decided that Hastings wouldn't be right for our opening as there wasn't a promenade or flat walk way with benches close enough to the town. Consequently we looked at our plan B location: Pett level.

 We preferred Pett level as a location for our film as it has a long walk way with a selection of benches looking out at the sea, the beach could also be used for other scenes in the opening as it has walls and fences along it. However by using Pett we will need to re-think how the main protagonist is going to get to the beach from her house as there are no houses just off the beach, this could be achieved with an elliptical jump cut to show that she's walked a considerable distance.
