Locations:

1 - Hackney

A location I would use to film my opening scene would be Hackney. This is a conventional area to  British Social Realism and the themes it contains. This is because Hackney has one of the highest Crime Rates in all of England. It is also not one of the prettiest places to  be either, and contains a lot of estates which is very common in British Social Realism movies. It also has a history of violent riots - again linking in with crime and violence.

2 - Brixton

The second location I would consider using to film the opening sequence of my British Social Realism movie is Brixton. This is because again it holds one of the highest crime rates in England. Brixton is also very well known for being a rough place, populates with violent youths and also a lot of sexual assaults take place there. Again it has been involved in many riots and is also a place of poverty - all essential to British Social realism movies as it is meant to bring out the 'worst in Britain.'

3 - Peckham


The third location I would consider using to film the opening sequence of my British Social Realism movie is Pekham. Peckham is well known for its Estates and flats. Pekham is also an area associated with 'chavs.' Peckham also has a high rate of violence and robberies and the estates are also very rough. The drug offences are also four times higher then average in England. Peckham is also known for its gang violence and youth deaths, which makes it an ideal place to shoot the opening sequence for my British Social Realism movie.

4 - Croydon

The fourth location I would consider using to film the opening sequence of my British Social Realism movie is Croydon. Croydon is a very very rough place with lots of gang violence occurring especially between rival gangs during the night time. Croydon is also known for its drunks at pubs at nights which usually turns into fights. Croydon also has a high crime rate as well as a high death rate by gangs and drugs. There is also often sexual assault occurring in Croydon and also another target of the riots. It pretty much explores every theme that is contained in British Social Realism movies which makes it an idea place to shoot for an opening  sequence for my film.
