Location

As discussed earlier, the ideal location for my opening sequence is Central London due to the availability of iconic landmarks. 

I feel like London Southbank would be appropriate for my opening sequence as there are a variety of landmarks visible from there such as the London Eye and Big Ben and there are also multiple bridges that can be used to film on. With the use of London Southbank it is possible to use the views from the London Eye as a backdrop when showing the names of the production/distribution companies etc.  

As Southbank is a public environment there are no restrictions on filming in that location that I am aware of and it is possible to film there at any time of the day all year round. Although it is sensible to consider that there will be peak times there where the public crowd is larger potentially creating problems such as noise and lack of free space for filming. As it is located directly on the bank of the River Thames there is not much road traffic noise meaning that that should not be a hindrance to my filming. There is, however, the possibility that public noise will be a problem during my filming as, as I said before, public places get very busy and congested during peak times. Most parts of Southbank stay well lit enough at all times of the day to enable filming to happen with relative ease.
