Location test

24/3/09

As a group we've refined our idea's and storyboards enough to begin searching for our ideal location. Anna which is a main character would be away during the half term so we have to shot her scenes next week before she leaves. So yesterday we went to Alexandre Palace and Muswell Hill (the old train tracks that have been referbished into a path). For the scene we're hoping to film quite scenic views of an urban lifestyle. Preferably get rooftop shots. Both locations have different style of rooftop shots. Alexandre Palace enables you to get a very wide panoramic shot yet the view will be at quite a distance so this caused a few problems. The old train track in Muswell hill is a narrower view yet it's alot more intimate as yet get a larger range of rooftops and the distance range.

As a group we discussed it and decided to choose the old train track in Muswell Hill. Yet we're still unsure on the time of shooting i think we'll have to revisit the site to see it in other lights. The next step now is for Matthew and Khalid to do a production schedule and Prince will have to do the Recce form. We must also visit the other two locations we've chosen to visit for the other scene. This should all be done by this week.

I feel that we could possibly be a bit behind as other groups have began shooting yet we're working slowly on the pre-production process. Yet i feel after this week the confidence within the group will grow as we'll have most paper work finished and we'll be preparing for the shooting days.
