Locations

The shots at the start are to have a sense of establishment; so that when the series begins the audience will have a clear idea of where it is set and where the action will take place. This is a establishing shot of the pub, extreme close up of the “The Jockey” (pub name) connoting the pub is full of people taking a chance; ironic as Jockey’s are associated to a Bourgeoisie class but the setting is a pub associated to the dangerous class – Binary opposition (Levi Strauss). This sense of division/rivalry is the key social issue that will be present throughout the trailer. We chose this particular location as it is urbanized and is a place in which different working class citizen’s travel to from a variety of destinations such as their work place and home. This setting is the focus point of the soap.

We also plan to shoot some scenes inside the pub and the outside will be in the background of other shots.

The House

This is where Harriet and the ‘New Boyfriend’ are getting ready, which is located in Lower Sunbury. It will allow us to cover several different angles and shot types such as: feet shots, tracking shots, high angle shots. The house has a very large mirror in the front room and allowed us to get our shots of the ‘New Boyfriend’ – showing the distance between the two characters, as Harriet gets ready in an entirely different room.

We also plan to shoot some scenes inside the house as well.
