Before I shot my final footage I filmed around the location I planned to shoot the film. The key things I was looking out for was Lighting (specifically the direction the sun and how it would create shadows, I wanted to know which direction to shoot so the faces of my actors wouldn’t be in a shadow). I also intended in finding a practical, pragmatic space in which the actors could move around (though the whole of the site was safe, I wanted too find the ideal space- far enough from the footpath so that bikes and runners wouldn’t wreck the sound of the film, but also close enough so that the walk from our cars to the space wasn’t 10-15 minutes). When compiling the footage I thought the best way too discuss and to show what I had done would be to narrate over a montage of the footage I collected.
So here it is.
