The council estate we have chosen to use is representative of the Brit Grit genre as many locations were filmed in lower class areas, council estates in particular. It helps in demonstrating the class of most of the characters and their upbringings and surroundings, which may also partly explain how they have been led to crime or violence.
We eventually agreed on this location for our film as it met our requirements for what we felt were necessary in order to portray our characters life style and the type of area in which the film is to be set. The estate is large, allowing us a variety of locations on which to shoot. The surrounding buildings are bland, dully coloured and run down, paint is stripped and peeling from some of the walls. The dull colours and grotty, urbanized area link to the settings seen in other films of the same genre, making our choice in location successful.
