06.02.2015 PLANNING: LOCATION RECCE

A result of not being able to use the cameras from Media Studies, we completed a location recce in the woods at Claremont instead. In order to be organised for future filming, Demi, Sophie and I decided that we should go and check our location for any changes or possible problems we may encounter; also this allows us more time to edit the shots in the studio.

We found an abandoned 'gardeners' shed in the woods, that was dilapidated, full of leaves, debris and had damp areas such as below the open, roofed section. Although this location, the abandoned shed, wasn't planned to be used in our film opening, I felt we could use a few second shots of this location when our main character, India, is lost in the woods looking for shelter whilst hiding from our main antagonist, Jack. Due to the open, roofed section of the shed that allows sunlight to flow in creating a highlighting, beam effect, of India for example if she stands underneath it, showcases her bruises, cuts and torn clothing, highlighting how vulnerable she is.

I made a photo collage in BeFunky, a free photo collage and editing software online.
