Location Report
For my AS level film studies portfolio, I have decided my planning following the
textual analysis of two teen drama films; Kidulthood (UK 2006) and Paper Towns (US
2015). For both of these films, I have explored how the director represents the
teenage protagonists through the use of the micro-elements; mise-en-scene, editing,
sound and cinematography. I have based my locations on the similar themes and
ideas from the evaluated textual analysis, reflecting a similar setting to the films as
well as meeting the codes and conventions of a teen drama film. My key aim is to
refer to teenage stereotype and hopefully build a wider understanding on why these
stereotypes are being fullfilled.

This location was chosen, due to the typical setting of an urban neighbourhood,
where the main antagonist is shown planning his next move, along with his gang
(other antagonists) whom we are introduced to. This location is good for my film
because it shows my audience the type of film it is as we get towards the end,
building up the suspense. This scene will be filmed with diegetic dialogue to let my
audience know what is happening and costumes which consist of tracksuits and
hooded jumpers along with a lethal weapon, following the stereotype of teenage
antagonists in todays society. To maintain the continuity of my film, I have to
carefully consider the hours that I film. This scene is filmed during the afternoon, so I
have to be careful to not run overtime, into the evening, as it will get darker. The
weather is something I also have to consider, I will have to check before I choose to
film on a specific day, as it cannot rain or it will interfere with my filming.
