Location Reccie - Wilderness Woods

1. Where and when did we go?
-We went to Wilderness woods on Thursday 5th December.

2.What was the purpose?
- The purpose of this trip was to begin to consider a location for risk, suitability, availability and light. It enables us to begin to consider what we have learnt to carry out our own location reccies.

3. What did we do?
- We began by discussing are concept briefly as we went on a location reccie. We came across a clearing with a campfire and pre-built huts. This helped us grow our concept and gave us the idea of having someone who is lost within a woods and is keeping a video diary of his time in the abandoned forest.
- After we had worked out a concept in detail and an appropriate location to shoot, we went back to the café in order to fill out a risk assessment and call sheet. We filled out in what shots we would be using in as much detail as possible within the short time space we had before heading out to film.
- Throughout the rest of the morning we shot all of Ross's scenes using many different camera angles in order to be able to later edit the ones we want to use.
- The afternoon took a similar procedure apart from we shot Dan's scenes along with myself in a few of them. Throughout the afternoon we went further to use a variety of shots and with the day coming to a close we built up the track and dolly in order to shoot some tracking shots that we may be able to use within our work. 

4. What worked?
- We tried a variety of shots within many different locations to see what would look best when we began to edit. We found that the location that predominantly worked for us was the campsite with the built burrows. It allowed us to create a storyline around the setting as there was a burrow along with a campfire.

5. What didn't work?
- We did face a problem with the weather. We found that the wind was very strong and therefore we had to re-do many shots over and over due to the dialogue not being heard over the wind.
