My part: Location Recce


Location Recce

What ideas do you have on where you are going to film?

 

 

some locations I will be filming are:







The school -








Evaluate potential locations against each other:

The school is where the group of kids go into and find out everything as well as coming across the possessed doll and i have an actual school which i can film in again making it realistic. 

Why you chose each the locations:

The school is ideal for me to use as a location as I know I have access and permission to film also the school is within the forest in the park which they find it is also where most of the film is taken place and is the main part/plot of the story which is why is I picked this location. 

What is your final ideal location to film this?

I am going to be using both locations however, only the park in this case as the film must be 2 minutes long so only the park will be used as it is from the beginning of the film and I will not be able to fit the school part of the film within the 2 minutes.

Evaluate potential locations against each other:

 The park is used for the first part of my film as it is where the group of kids are hanging out in the park. This is useful as i have the actual location which makes it realistic. 

The school is where the group of kids go into and find out everything as well as coming across the possessed doll and i have an actual school which i can film in again making it realistic. 

Why you chose each the locations:

The park is used for when the group of kids are on their day out together and in the park there is a forest which they come across to later explore. I also know I have access to the park and am able to film a part of my film in this location which is helpful to make my film realistic.

The school is ideal for me to use as a location as I know I have access and permission to film also the school is within the forest in the park which they find it is also where most of the film is taken place and is the main part/plot of the story which is why is I picked this location.
