Location Recce

I already have a pretty good idea of where I would like my film to start and be filmed, and that place is South Hylton metro Station. It is a place I know like the back of my hand, having passed though it probably more than a thousand times in my life (well, it isn't like there is much to see!) The station only has one platform as it is where the Metro line terminates and Begins again, and because of this Trains stick around for about five minutes at a time, allowing adequate time for us to prepare and take equipment on and off the train. Below is what the station looks like.

Inside the train, there is very little space or room to film however when the train is relatively empty there should be just enough space to squeeze in. This is another reason for filming at South Hylton, as it is probably one of the quieter stations on the line. The station is quite bare bones, but is one of the only ways out of the village, as there is only one road and an 'occasional' Bus service. Below is a picture of the inside of a carriage, and I would like my main actor to be sat in the circled seat, as this enables her to view both the window and the most spacious part of the carriage where most of the action takes place with ease. I need it to be a window seat, so I can film the actor from the next seat along without having people getting up/down or walking past the camera.I've used this post to identify where my film will take place, whilst highlighting some finer details, such as where I can film from and where my actor will sit.
