15/09/11 - Setting/Location


Before filming our trial shots, I decided that it would be helpful to do some research into our location, as it would allow us to thoroughly plan how we would use our setting. We chose to film in a field nearby Kate's house, which was only around a five minute walk away. It's always avaliable to the public, so we can easily access it, but it also meant that we would have to pause filming a few times, to ensure we did not have people in the background of our shots. The field also has a forest directly next to it, which would also offer another setting to film in. There is also a row of houses at the back of the field, which is perfect for us, as they can be used in our film.

Below I have a gif showing some of the photographs we took while we visited our location:

In two of the photographs you can see the sun setting, which proved to be a slight problem when we were filming. It made many of our shots overly bright, which resulted in a picture that wasn't very clear. As a result, we have decided to try filming at a later time to reduce the effect the sun has on our shots.

  1. The other way to get around the sunlight is to film from a different direction.
