Locations, forms and conventions

To fit the theme of a western we all agree that we will have to use locations that express conventions that are associated with this genre. But also give this traditional genre a twist by bringing in modern aspects into our production. which differs from the usual take on a western film. 

The first thing people think of when they hear “Western”. Is “the good, the bad and the ugly” and “a fist full of dollars”. Both starring Clint Eastwood. Being the face of western film. To be able to bring this genre to our production we will have to take these conventions of a western and the locations to create the effect we want. 
The locations that we have found best fit what we image for our production is a derelict railway tracks. which will contribute to creating our genre mix of a modern western

Verney junction is a 50 minute drive towards milton keynes. And three members of the group and cast are able to drive so logistics is not an issue. 

The stretch of railway is completely out of use and sections of the tracks have been pulled up and parts of the area are overgrown,

This would be an ideal location for our idea for the final stand off scene where we clearly see the location has lots of overgrown grass, hedges trees etc and the railway through the middle which is a perfect location for the effect we plan to achieve
