Point 24 - Locations

Aberlour Playing fields - We chose the Aberlour Playing Fields as it mimicks the background we need to set our main characters story on. As there are playing equipment already there for the extra actors to play on, giving the feeling of a realistic playground, where bullying wculd occur.


Pathway between Chapel and Ghouse - We chose this location to mimick a busy walkway you would expect to see in New York or any high street in a major city. This gives the main character a reason to show off and feel the need to strut. A busy walkway allows for shots of extra actors facial expressions.


Outside Ghouse (zebra crossing) - This area is a safe place for Gordon to fall as no traffic is allowed to move, also it is a characteristic of a busy city to have a zebra crossing.





















Staircase to Mrs Hawksleys Reception Area -

Mrs Hawksley Reception area - The reception area is an already established area so limited props will need to be found.
