PLANNING: LOCATION RECCE

My group and I decided that we would re-film the grave yard scenes I had originally filmed with Marcus in October. We decided this would be appropriate as the footage we had filmed was too out of focus to be used. I noticed this when we had uploaded the footage onto the Mac as the screen was larger and had a high resolution compared to the compact screen on the SLR camera. Although this costed us some valuable time when we could have been editing footage, we thought it would be necessary to film as it was the establishing scenes. 



Previous to filming the grave yard scene at St George's Church Cemetery, Esher, Surrey we visited the church to check whether it would be suitable for filming. We wanted to create an eerie, vacant and 'abandoned' feel to the scene. We agreed that from visiting the location prior to filming we would have an organised, realistic feel of the scene before starting filming; we had an idea about what the grave yard scene would visually look like. We also thought that it would be appropriate for us to go back to the grave yard and view the location prior to filming in case of any changes to the church or building work contracted around the church making disruptive, wild sound to our scenes. 

HERE is a post on filming the grave yard scene originally in October.

I have updated the film trailers Instagram account with photographs taken recently of filming and the editing stages of the trailer project, in turn attracting and addressing our audience. The Instagram page can be found HERE or on the right hand side of my blog roll. 



Below are a selection of videos I have recorded of the grave yard on my iPhone.
