Location research

We decided to consider a couple of locations, one being Orrell Reservoir due to it's close proximety to our college. We took our DSLR on location to see how the area looked on film.

These are a select few of the many photos we took whilst there, and although the images translate well, unfortunately the area would not be a sufficient size to film our planned video. We now know from this that we need to find a wooded area that is a large enough capacity for us to film panning shots successfully etc.

Our next idea for a location was Borsdane Woods, Hindley. This area includes a very large wooded area, and a shallow stream which we believed we could incorporate in to our video.

We were really pleased with the outcome of the photos from the area, and therefore have chosen to use Borsdane Woods as our location. The place is very diverse and offers a wide range of opportunities for shots, and the contrast between the dark enclosed spaces and the open woodland would work in favour of our video.
