Recce's

For todays lesson we had to walk to the crescent and the circus. At the crease we were told to take picture of an area that we used in a period drama/scifi film.






After walking around the crescent we walked over the the circus where we discover that it was dark at the circus then the crescent because the area is small the area in the middle is crowed by the trees and the buildings are tall which also hides the sun.

I think the reason why the Crescent has more light then the circus is because the crescent has more open area and it's not so crowded like the circus, It also has more area to film that takes the modern styles away, if you feel it right


Reasons for recce's is because when filming on location you need to look at an area before hand. One is permission which is important because if you record on private properties you could get kicked off half way through filming or get told that you're not aloud to used the footage that you recorded.

Once you get permission you can then move on to the next step which is health & safety, space and planning the day you want to record as well as checking the weather on that day. Dependi
