Location Scouting 

Since we finished early on the Tuesday, my partner and I thought it would be a great opportunity to go out and look for iconic places to feature within our Super 8 Film, thinking about camera angles and different effects that could be applied.

We started of by walking to the barbican, lovely sunny day and we decided to take pictures of the harbour, using the reflections in the water and the ripples, experimenting with ISO and Aperture. Keeping to the harbour wall, we walked around the barbican up to the Hoe, looking into the types of camera shots that could be achieved i.e. a shot overlooking the channel with boats and vessels appearing across the frame, play with depth of field by bringing the boats into focus and the background out of focus.

Here are a few shots with possible camera ideas, my partner and I have still agreed to film the piece like a journey, places link to each other and it has a playful element to it as everything filmed is what we came across on our journey around Plymouth. Started to generate final ideas and came up with a lot more as we adventured through the city looking at objects, buildings and locations that could be interpreted by the audience in different ways.

Camera shots/angles

Types of places visited Hoe, Park, Barbican... wanted to become imaginative with places and shapes, experimenting with shadows and light.
