           As you know, I would like a downtown area/workplace to be the setting of my film. A workplace is a place of employment for citizens that work. Many workplaces are in or surrounded by downtown areas. Since my two main characters (John and Maria) are active in the workforce, it makes the most sense for the movie to be filmed in or near a downtown area. Let's discuss areas that I could possibly film in...

Town Center - Weston, Florida

           A town center is the central part of a community. Town centers are where families/friends go to hangout and spend quality time together. Additionally, town centers are very similar to the downtown areas of a regular city. Both are surrounded by various workplaces and behold a number of stores and shops. Here are a few pictures of the Town Center in Weston, Florida:

                                      

          As you can see, the Town Center in Weston, Florida is very much alike to a normal downtown area. The town center includes many workplace buildings and has a modern feel to it. This would be a very good setting for my film (Ever After).

Downtown, Fort Lauderdale (Florida)

     The downtown area in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a very well-known area. Many tourists and/or residents of Florida visit this area daily. Thriving businesses and/or workplaces reside in this area for people to visit and apply to. As many people come to this area every day, it makes clear sense as this area to provide two people with love. Like my two main characters, John and Maria! Here are some pictures of the downtown area in Fort Lauderdale:

       It is clear that the downtown area in Fort Lauderdale is also surrounded by large amounts of water and has a beach feel to it. This setting would allow for wonderful sunsets. Sunsets are a major part of the initial setting of my film as well. If I were to pursue this downtown area, I would have an amazing chance at being able to track one of a kind sunsets while filming a well-known downtown area. 

Downtown Area, Miami (Florida)

     The downtown area of Miami is the most modern out of all of the other downtown areas. This area provides a new look on the future of workplaces in the state of Florida. Miami is the central spot for tourists and big, active businesses. Miami is often filled with tourists and festivals. It is clear that the downtown area of Miami attracts plenty of people and is very popular across the city of Miami. Here are a few pictures of this downtown area:

                               

       Every downtown and/or town center in Florida has its own significance to it! Each one provides a different feel and different scenery. Most importantly, each one emphasizes how workplaces are in fact a major part in the creation of downtown areas. As of right now, I am deciding to film either in the Town center of Weston, FL or Downtown area of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Both of these areas provide essentials to the setting of my film. I am looking forward to the filming process of my project!
