Reflection: Epping Forest Map

We will be focusing on the south-west part of Epping Forest seen in this map, next to Hollow Ponds. This is because it is easier for each team member to arrive there as well as having all the perfect sites needed for our storyline ideas.

 

I research the are of interest for our footage scene, so I found this in Google Maps. I found a magnified shot of the area we will be focusing on, in order to give further details of our footage location.

 

 



 
 

Reflection: Weather Forecast

 

Considering that we have only three times to borrow a camera from our college. We have had a limited amount of times to film.

 

When filming the forest scene we had an unfortunate rainy day which can be seen in our footage (if not seen directly raining, it can be noticed by the damp terrain). For this reason, our group has looked at the weather forecast to film at a day which will be rainy in the morning in order to shoot in the same weather condition. For this, we have agreed to again meet on Saturday to film.

Test Footage: Reflection

Today in class we have decided to do a test footage to confirm whether our initial location ideas (see previous posts) are suitable or not. This will allow us to develop our initial ideas in order to produce a far more professional short film. We will be filming our test footage this Saturday in the morning (19^th of October) and we have decided that we will be the actors in this scene as we will not use this as the end product.

 

 

 

 

Recce: Location of our short film

 

We have assessed the possible problems of using the settings we have chosen for our film. In this recce we have explored whether or not the two sole locations for our film would be useful and safe in order to film on.
