Location scouting:

Southbank/ National Theatre- this area is greatly known for its ‘Brutalist’ architecture, the South Bank Centre is ideal for high contrast photography; this will play well into the low-key lighting of scenes in the flashbacks. The South Bank Centre benefits from many light wells and tunnels where light and shade can help create very high contrast which is better on a bright, sunny day to accentuate the shadows.
Camden Town- mainly a more populated area where there are markets and stores of interest, we may use these images or scenes to put affect in the increase in population of urban areas. Camden Town will play into the cinematography of our film as on the outskirts of this town there are lots of beautiful parks which we will utilise.
Marble Arch- there is a mix of modern and rustic buildings with many being re furbished and being built; with parks and small empty cafes too.
Lake street graffiti tunnel- an 'off beaten path" compared to the pristine walks and hubbub of the central; 5 minutes away from Central London. It is rich in art and filled completely in graffiti. Temperature plays a part in this, specifically here; we can get quite grimy and cold scenes. This area works very well with long shots or establishing shots for when a character is walking.
Bus Route to Kingston- this is a very scenic route and contains lots of forests and vaguely looks like Hampstead Heath in Central London but is wider and open; this will play a part in cinematography in our film.
Hyde Park- which has more than 4,000 trees, a lake, a meadow and rose gardens. This we will use for the forest areas of the park.
Lighting:
For the film we will mainly focus on using our environment with use of high key as we will be filming mainly in the morning. Temperature is an aspect we is important as there will be a use of chiaroscuro which is why Southbank and Lake street are great areas for this type of shadow manipulation and cold lighting. With the low-key lighting and neutral lighting we will utilise for flashbacks which will reinforce the downfall of the dystopia. The contrast of light and dark from past and present will support the idea that the disease has greatly affected society which will reflect on the environment.
Costume and make-up:
The teenagers used will be dressed in casual clothing for teens of their age. Types of clothing will be jeans, jumpers and sneakers. The colours of the outfits will be dark also show their social class. We will be using a mouth foaming effect for the teenagers affected by the disease which will be added with food colouring for the different pill colours that will be used.
Props
We will be using a tent for the forest scenes and also using big camp bags for the two main characters. Fake vomit/foam is also needed. Propaganda posters i.e. ‘anti- gender’ ‘anti-civilisation’ will be made by us via Photoshop.
