Locations


Sefton Park (above) was the ideal setting as the lake and scenery offered for an authentic park scene. The images above were taken to show the size of the park and to show what it had to offer.

Recce Report



Several Locations need to be considered for my report as there are several scenes moreover there will be several set ups per scene. 
It is important to choose suitable locations because it impacts  the atmosphere you try to create.
FIlming outdoors can be risky as in certain places a license or permission from a higher authority can be required. 

EXT. STREET.NIGHT
My film has a scene shot down a street at night.
Several things need to be considered when choosing what street to film on:

Negatives:
  • Lighting sources; over head street lights may effect the quality of the images but may also distort the actors faces which are vital in terms of creating the desired image.
  • Passing cars; they may cause noise or a disturbance which will force the film to loose effect. The headlights may also cause some glare on the camera depending upon where the camera is set up and the direction of the moving car. 
  • Pedestrians who do not star in the film; although they may add to the scene, making it seem more natural, they have not signed any documentation giving us permission to film them furthermore it is not advised to use average people passing by. 
  • May be difficult to set safety precautions however if a road is selected carefully, there may not be any need for them.
