From research I have conducted I have discovered that in order for my urban drama to be realistic, it has to be set on a council estate in london. I think this use of mise-en-scene is effective because we connote council estates with crime and poverty, something that the main character in myHOOD has to confront.

| Fellows estate, Hackney |
Above is a picture of Fellows Estate in Hackney. A large estate in heart of Hackney I think this location will be perfect for the home of the main character. Its vibrant colours mixed with its decrepid state will depict the life of poverty that she leads.

| Christie's bus journey |
This still was taken on a test shoot with the main character. The use of mis-en-scene, in her costume, reflects her background, whilst the location, a Hackney bus,symbolises both a literal and metaphorical journey. When we film we will take a bus from Stoke Newington to Dalston, and get shots of the main character inside the bus, and also from her point of view.

| Clapton Girls logo |
The above logo is that of Clapton Girls Academy In Hackney. I have planned for Cali's journey in the opening sequence to end here, with her selling drugs to school kids. I have chosen to use this as I found from my research that the target audience relate with real locations rather than mocked up situations in a studio
