Recce

I have chosen the Royal Crescent because it is an open area that will be perfect fro my forced perspective shot and the ground is on a slight slope which is very useful to help create the illusion of forced perspective I think that there are some everyday hazards, but I have outlined these in my recce checklist, but nothing too serious it is in a walkable distance from the college I will need to film in a time of day and a weather that is not rainy or overcast therefore I need to film on a sunny day but I'm also going to try timing it so it's not in lunchtime so that the field is relatively empty.

I am going to film all of the internal scenes of the film in the Bath College Tempa Media building because this location can look quite a lot like an actual studio office and will only be filming in the corridors and the kitchen where you won't see any of the classrooms or see any signs that its a college risks are very minimal but one thing that I will need to take into consideration is the surface which the actor trips on which is a scene in my film. 

I did consider filming in and around a corner shop but ended up having to scrap this idea to make the film more sense

reflecting on my research and experiments

1. What did you hope to find out using the research sources you identified?

For my test footage I hoped to find out how to perfect forced perspective I would expect to have to  experiment with the camera placement in relation to the two actors and I will have to experiment with the camera settings 

2. Did you produce both primary and secondary research?

The test footage was primary research which helped a lot with developing my idea and bringing it down to reality, the secondary research I produced was around the films that already exist such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings I analysed scenes from these films that used forced perspective in similar ways to what I intend to do I also did a bit of secondary research on runners and what they do in their job and how to incorporate the runner into the film for the audience who don't know who a runner is on a film set

3. Which did you find more useful to your idea development?

I found primary research the most useful, as there were certain aspects that needed changing for when I do the final filming. Such as fitting the camera lower to the ground with longer grass and on a slight slope will all be things that I incorporate into the final footage.
