Reece Report






The significance of using this location as the girls’ workplace is that it has a flat surface for the girls to work on and it has the equipment that the girls need when bagging up the drugs and this is where most of the filming will be done. Also by using a warehouse as a place where the young girls’ bag drugs adds to the effect of the film and the social realism genre as there will all sorts of machinery and equipment which you would typically find in a warehouse. 
The machinery there can be dangerous and to avoid any health and safety issues we will not be using any of the machinery.
Due to a lack of windows in the warehouse not much natural light gets in so we will have to use lights to get the right amount of lightning needed in our film.
As we will be filming in a warehouse it will be very quiet and a lot of the sound will echo. 






 The significance of using this location is that it’s a good location to use for Red’s office as there are papers, a computer, a phone, a desk and many other things that you would typically find in an office.
As there are no windows in the office we have problems with lightning. Also, another problem we may have problems with using this location is that it isn’t always free.



We use this location to show one of the workers (the main character) making her way to work. We show her walking down a quiet backstreet near a field and follow her as she makes her way into the warehouse.
We may have problems with sound when using this location, for example; wind and cars.
However, lightning will not be a problem as we will be filming outdoors in the day time so we will have loads of natural light to use but the weather may be a problem e.g. if it rains. And for safety reasons we will have to look out for moving vehicles.
