1. Locations
Where we plan to/have
filmed…
Problems-
The weather, and the fact at
5 each day id run out of time
2. Rendlesham Forest
Rendlesham forest had a huge amount of forestry from, with
a wide variety of hills and trees. For my opening these
seemed like an excellent choice of where to film. Since there
was so much variety of shots I could take. I was limited by
how far we could walk from the car since it would get dark
soon every day we went filming. However the places we
found were worth it. I found I didn’t have to scout through the
forest to find good shots because I felt it would be more
spontaneous and realistic If I looked at the storyboard shots,
then found places into eh forest that looked similar to that, or
places I could just film. This saved time but kept the look
realistic.
3. I filmed in the
huge forest,
throughout a
variety of
places
4. Foxhall heath
Foxhall heath is a smaller expanse of forest close to were I
lived which was appropriate because I didn’t have to travel
far nor scout it out because since I live practically in it, I knew
were most good places to film were. For the scenes were I
needed to climb trees, or use trees further apart I used the
heath. This also meant that if there was a clip I didn’t like I
wouldn’t have to go back to film it again.
5. I filmed in the forest and
on fields of bracken
6. Needham lakes
Needham lakes, for what I saw is a large lake with a river
winding around it. I scouted out this place first because it was
reasonably close, and since there was such a variety of
places I could film from it seemed best to scout out a good
area to film the scene. I did find a place that looked like the
edge of a forest peering onto the edge of a river. It had a
small riverbank which was great to use to find the object in
my film because it looked natural.
