Possible Locations for my BSR film

For my BSR film I would consider quite a few different ideas in order to help me create the typical BSR representation. These areas must be considered to have the right conventions that would portray the correct ideology of a British lifestyle. Things that I would be looking for may include:

• Racism
• Unkempt
• Unpopular
• Not much to do
• High population of ethnic minority
• High population of white ethnicity

LOCATION ONE - Green Street, Newham

Positives:

• Known for its crime so can be easily portrayed
• Ethnic minorities are more apparent within these areas
• Racism is quite a common occurrence here

Negatives:

• Quite busy so sound may be hard to find
• Also the busyness of it can cause the problems of getting in people's way
• Would cost a bit to get there as it is relatively far

LOCATION TWO - Barking Market

Positives:

• Dominantly white so the typical BSR representation can be apparent
• Quite a rough looking area

Negatives:

• Travel may be quite a lot as it is not very close
• Can bump into trouble quite easily, especially with the expensive equipment
• As the area is busy it may be hard to record sound/try to avoid staying out of other people's way

LOCATION THREE - Ilford Lane, Greater London

Positives:

• Typical BSR shops (i.e. cheap fast food/clothing)
• Rough looking (i.e. unkempt ground)
• Usually see people wearing cheap outfits
• Easily accessible (cheap and close by)

Negatives:

• Quite a noisy area so sound made be hard to record
• May bump into trouble
• Might get in the way of people as it is quite a busy area

LOCATION FOUR - Parsloes Avenue, Dagenham

Positives:

• At times it can be relatively quiet so filming can be quite easy
• Can be a rough area as denoted by the amount of crimes that occur here.
• Dominantly a white area so can have great BSR denotations

Negatives:

• Can be quite a long journey to get here
• At times trouble may be easy to find
• Near a school so the sounds from here may be a problem

LOCATION FIVE - Dagenham Swimming Pool

Positives:

• Has a typical BSR outlook as it is quite rough and unvarnished
• Dominantly white ethnicity, which helps to have the BSR representation
• Not too loud so audio recording can be relatively easy, in some form.

Negatives:

• Depending on the time of day it can be quite noisy, depending on how many people are there.
• Not very cost/time effective
• May bump into trouble quite easily
