GROUP: Location Recce 2 (Hornslodge Fields)

We planned to visit Horns lodge Fields in Tonbridge in order to establish whether this could be a location for our 'Binocular' video. We had discussed a scene an initial

scene set within a field location reflecting upon the first meeting of the two main characters in Moonrise Kingdom. We liked this scene because of its visual style and mise-en-scene matching our own concept.

We organized to go out on Wednesday 1/10/14  in order to take some pictures using each other as character blocking models inn order to establish scale and get a better idea over what the shots may look like.

Here are some photos from our shoot:

 

 

 

 

 

 

• The location is positioned very close to our houses making it easily accessible and time effective allowing any equipment needed to be quickly transported from the houses to the location.
• The recce was successful in identifying a location which we could easily reach. It also allowed us to experiment with different shot distances and composition and has provided a key source for our colour grading experimentation.
• A further field recce is planned for the coming weekend and so although this location will be kept in mind we will explore other options before making a commitment.
