This scene consists of Sydney window shopping for jewellery in London. Previously to filming my group and I made a trip to the location of the scene in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey to check whether filming this scene would be appropriate, fit our vision of filming and also make us aware of how the scene would look like visually both in the construction stages as well as what it may look like against other scenes when being edited.
We initially decided that it would be appropriate to film inside a local shopping centre in Kingston Upon Thames, however we were told that we were unable to film in there without permission. We spoke to the management of the Bentall Centre, Kingston and she told us that permission would be expensive and time consuming, she said that filming outside would be more suitable. According to guidelines, we are allowed to film outside on the high street as long as don't show the branding or signs of businesses advertising their product without their permission.
We agreed that prior to filming the location had to be near empty as it we didn't want any disturbances such as members of the school being in shot without permission. We wanted the high street to be a vast size with day light visible and the shop windows to be impressive showcasing expensive, glamorous and luring jewellery; creating awe and spectacle at Sydney's wealth.
