For my locations I did an area scout to find the right places for my film. Starting with where to set my tent, my original plan was to use a park that is next to UCA Rochester campus. After going back to it and a feedback from my teacher, I realized that it wasn't the best place to set a tent of a person that is living in it (who lives in a tent in the middle of a park.) Two days before my film, I found a place close to the river where I live that good portion of brownish grass, that looked very abandoned and away from everything. I framed it right so couldn't see the buildings around it or many cars, so it actually looked like it was abandoned. Here a still of that part:
For the meeting part I was going to use the Dockyard by Chatham, but since transport was a bit time consuming for me, I decided to scout more and found a much better place which was Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle. At first when I went, the area seemed very quiet and not much movement, but the day of the shooting, there was a lot of people and cars that disrupted my noise all the time. It was tough to frame right and find the right place to film. Since a lot of cars passed by the road where we were filming, we had to wait until no car was coming to shoot and so on for every clip, so that we could get a good audio. Here are two pictures of the place:
