Location Scouting - Super 16mm Project
My group decided to go location scouting today, we had the idea that we wanted to film a location where we could highlight the shadows of our character as they move around. The first place that we went too was the park out the back of the hoe, we saw potential through the open area, the way the trees were aligned on either side of the path, however we wanted somewhere that had an aura too it, we felt like the park looked too clean and so we wouldn't have been able to use our ideas of a rustic look for the film.
We then moved over towards the pavilions where we found a small wooded area, this was perfect for our film, we were able to reflect shadow on the trees as we ran past, we thought about utilising the lonesome park bench as a point of contact for our main character who is never revealed on screen. We thought that this small part of ground could be seen as a place for reflection, perhaps something has happened too the character within this location.
The second location that we visited was on the marine football ground, this place was old, had a great aura and we all planned out 6-7 camera angles that would work well for the film. I took a few pictures and videos of the location.
Behind the Scenes - Super 16mm Location Scouting
Marine Football Field - Trees behind the shot, shadows on the trunks as someone dashes past
Hoe Park - Idea of utilising the trees for exterior shots - shadows along the floor as someone travels through the woods.
Capturing the light as it just peaks through the gaps in the tree branches, aiming the camera towards the top to capture the beams of light as they reflect down the trunks.

Shot List - Cinematographer
Panning shot leading across the tops of the trees - In a rainbow shape (up and down), starting from a really old architectural building and leading too a rusted old looking building.
Panning shot of the architectural steps or the entrance to the marines football field park, pillars either side, characters shadow outlined as if he's walking inside.
Various close up shots of trees - seeing the characters shadow moving across the tree trunks and displaying an outline of their clothes on the ground.
The sun beams shining through the tops of the tree branches, forming an outline on the ground.
Close up along the floor with the grass being blown, perhaps we see a hat rolling along the ground or someones old glove.
Leaves being blown across the ground in front of the camera
High/Low angle shots of the park to give a sense of space - the location is pretty open, giving an insight into the landscape.
Wide Angled Shot - Portrays a bench at the front of the frame, with a bowling green in the foreground and a monument thats visible in the background.
