Locations of "Chasing The Dream" by Myles McCaulskey

Our Film "Chasing The Dream" has many various locations and these are a few of the destinations in which our short film will be played out:

Heathrow Airport

Our group has chosen this location as it is a typical British airport which is recognisable to most audiences. The use of a scene at Heathrow Airport will establish to the audience that the main protagonist may be foreign or just coming back from another country. Setting the scene for the audience who through this location will establish that our main character is a new citizen in the UK looking for work.

School Corridor

The Next location seen in "Chasing the Dream" will be in a school corridor seen in the pictures above. This location will be used to show the main character Kwami (Roache Boateng-Abraham) sweeping as he plays a role of a cleaner. The viewing of lockers in the sequence will address to the audience that the location is a "school like" setting and not just a random corridor in the film.

School Gates (Entrance to the School Setting)

This is the third location seen in "Chasing the Dream" This location will be the main way we tell the audience that Kwami is leaving and returing to school each day. It can also be seen as a montage as this location will be possibly filmed to show him getting to school in the morning and then also leaving at night. This location will be used to illustrate that Kwami is a teacher and cleaner throughout the film as at the beginning of the short film he enters as a cleaner and by the end leaves as a Teacher at the same school he used to clean in. The use of the school gates and the school sign in the distance will show the audience that this is an entrance to a school and not just a random location our main character is travelling to and from to.

Roaches Room:

This location is going to be used as Roache's Room. This will be used for montage scenes of Kwami going and coming from work, but also studying at night. This is an important sequence as it shows Roache's background and where he is living. This sequence will show the audience the social stanards Kwami is living in and how his life is progressing within the film

The Sixth Form School Coridoor

This is the final major location seen in "Chasing the Dream" This is the final sequence in which Kwami has become a fully fledged teacher, capping the end of the film.  In this location Kwami will walk to class which will systematically end the film.

Other Locations seen in "Chasing the Dream"

The Classroom

The School Grounds

Both of these are locations in the film, but play a minor role in proceedings. Kwami will just be seen walking through this locations without any major significance.
