Professional Pre-Production: Locations Research & Selection


The Identity is based in Southwest Philadelphia, USA, and Hammersmith, London, UK. In order to bring the visuals of the series to life more, I've found image examples of the types of locations that I envision for the story.


Hammersmith 1989

Examples of Hammersmith and general London from the late 1980s, where the story begins.





Hammersmith Hospital 1989

Examples of hospitals and an ultrasound room from the 1980s, where pregnant Helen has a check up with Kathleen and Frank.





London Flat 1989

Example of a small, slightly scruffy, typically 80s flat interior, where Helen lived.




Southwest Philadelphia (Present Day)

Examples of skyline, town and housing locations in Philadelphia, where Lauren and Helen live.






Philadelphia Diner

Examples of a Philadelphia diner with a typical American diner interior, and a drab, scruffy exterior, where Lauren works.






Philadelphia House

Examples of a Southwest Philadelphia house exterior, and outdated but warm living rooms, where Helen and Lauren live.






Philadelphia Hospital

Examples of Philadelphia hospital exteriors and a private hospital room, where Helen is taken after she collapses.






Philadelphia Airport

Examples of Philadelphia International Airport outside and inside, where Lauren leaves for London.





Airport Bar

Examples of a dark, conventional American bar, where Lauren meets Ethan.





On the Plane

Examples of the Philadelphia airport runway and the interior of the plane, where Lauren prepares to take off for London with Ethan.





London Airport

Examples of London Heathrow Airport's exterior, interior and signage, where Lauren and Ethan arrive in London.






English Cafe

Examples of warm London-style cafe interiors, where Lauren and Ethan have breakfast, and later meet back up at the end.





London Library

Examples of conventional London library interiors, where Lauren and Ethan search for Frank's information.





London Office Building

Examples of a modern office building exterior, and reception interior, where Lauren finds Frank's workplace.





London House

Examples of a secluded detached house in London, where Lauren sees that Frank is having an affair with another woman when they're outside of her home.





London Bar

An example of a dark, conventional London bar, where Lauren and Ethan talk before she finds out who he is.




London Hotel

Examples of the Apex City of London Hotel, exterior examples where Lauren and Ethan stay, Amanda tracks down Lauren, and an interior example where Lauren and Ethan spend the night together.






London Streets

Examples of both busy and quiet London streets, where Ethan and Lauren, and Lauren alone often travel through.






Hammersmith House

Examples of pristine Hammersmith homes, with oddly perfect, cold feeling interiors, where Frank and Kathleen Porter live.







London House (Amanda)

Examples of a London house with an exterior examples, and examples of the interior - the first two interior example images are an over dramatic concept of Amanda's home, and the third interior example resembles more of the decorative style of the home, all remaining dark, dirty and messy.







With all major locations covered from my third draft synopsis, when adding these location examples to my package, I will slightly edit the images' colour, contrast etc. to make the atmospheres of the series, and explain the locations.
