We looked at two different paths that lead into a park, as paths link two places together and can be used as a way to break up events and create a space for character to think about situations. Characters aren't always stationary in soaps and there is usually a park, like on Eastenders, where people will talk about a recent story, so we found two light places that could also seem dangerous at night, as there would be few people around. Danger is a reoccuring theme in soaps, as murders and stalkings are common, so we needed somewhere this could happen.
These roads are quite closed off and quite quiet, so we wouldn't get interference from people walking past and distrubing us or getting in the shot. As well as that, we needed a built up area with many houses as there are many characters who need somewhere to live, and having them living close by to each other makes it more personal and its realistic that neighbours would hang out with each other.
Again, these roads are quiet and few people are about so we can get the most out of our actors. The left image is the place we thought about filming it, as the road is straight and there is enough room for the actors to stand on either side.
