In order for my promotional video to be a success, I had decided to do more research on the new areas, me and my team would be shooting in. The new areas that me and my team had now decided to focus on in Brixton were.
Windrush Square
Brixton Pop
And Brixton Market
Here is the mood board that I had created for my research, On the mood-board it shows Brixton and all the types of shops and sights Brixton as an area has.

I decided that it would be necessary to make a mood-board, as it could help bring the concept of my ideas to life before shooting. Making a mood-board also helped give my group a visual interpretation of what I'm hoping the promotional video could be created and styled like.
Here is all the research that I had done for the areas, me and my group will be shooting!
(I didn't do windrush square, as I previously did some secondary research on it on one of my blog posts)
Brixton Pop

Information on Brixton Pop :
Pop Brixton is a community spaced area, that has allowed people to promote their local or independent businesses. In Pop Brixton a lot of events are held, such as halloween parties and film festivals where people can watch films. With activities from Yoga, to Tai Chi, you're never left bored or un-entertained at Pop Brixton. Most of these activities are either free or priced, but even if you're asked to spend money, you still don't have to pay that much as these activities cost as little as £7

Screenshots of some of the activities, one can do at Pop Brixton.
At Pop Brixton they're activities for all ages and people!
Pop Brixton also has a variety of pop up restaurants, where you can eat food from around the world, such as African food, Jamaican food and even Asian Cuisines. If you're more of a hamburger or pizza type of person, you have the choice as they're several pop up restaurants that sell gourmet burgers, fries and pizza's.
Of course you would want to eat your meal with a beverage, Pop Brixton has everything you need as they're also drink stations where you could order an alcoholic beverage or just a fizzy drink.
I believe that its good that me and my group have decided to pick Pop Brixton, as a location to shoot. It is a great location as it is was opened last year, and is a new establishment in Brixton, that may not be known by some people who do not live in Brixton. The whole point of our promotional video is to show how brixton has changed, and this is a prime example of how different Brixton has become, as a new community space has been opened and has given visitors a variety of activities to do.
So shooting it in our promotional video would be very eye-catching to our audience. It would make our audience be intrigued, as Pop Brixton, does not just have pop up restaurants but it also has events being held for all types of ages and people.
Brixton Market

Information on Brixton Market:
