R+P POST 24: Deciding on a location

Deciding on a location

 When we was deciding on a location we wanted to ensure that the location was urban and also another key element which we wanted to allow is the location to be vibrant so that it could represent how the skate park for Isabel is a form of escapism.

Clapham Common Skate Park

Although this location may not be the vibrant look we were going for it is however very big and open. It could be representative of how insignificant Isabel feels amongst her surroundings. This location may only be recognisable to a select number of people however therefore we have chose to try and implement somewhere more familiar with the wider audience.

Frontside Gardens Skatepark 

This new skatepark is an interesting project that started in 2012. The skatepark was constructed entirely from local waste, it was built by the local people in the area. Once again the location isn't as recognisable because it is new however it may be iconic in years to come and could be an interesting choice as it is clearly aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

South Bank Skatepark

This is currently our preferred location because it is recognisable not only from a perspective of a London artist but it is also internationally recognised. This also fits our criteria of vibrance as well however it may be difficult to film here as it is often busy so we will have to make sure that we get here as early as we can.
