Reccie

Today we went to Stradbrook, the location Alex and Clarice have picked for the shoot. Its a good 15 minutes on the bus but Clarice's grandma lives there so we can use that location as base and Alex like the look of the area. I agree, the level of suburban banality is just right for the story.

Of course I took my camera to take some images of what I think the storyboard will look like.

Opening Shot... I always planned dewy grass being one of the first shots. In the narrative he starts by leaving a shop, this location has a really nice setup for that exact shot!

Most of the film will take place around streets, we aren't quite sure exactly what we need from the streets yet so we just had a wonder to get a feel for the area.


The next few are of the park and its view. This first shot has a really nice look over Sheffield and we should be able to get a really nice picture of Georgia with Sheffield as the backdrop.

 We need swings for the story and the park has a decent set so thats good.

 Finally we have slides! In all the images I used a cold blue white balance to denote morning, in this picture I put my hand in as well to show the effects on skin tone that we may have to work to reduce.

Overall the reccie went well, it has informed my shotlists and should be a good place to work, shame about the journey but should be a good location.
