Location Photoshoot

On the 3/10/1 our location photoshoot took place in Reeth Moor Estate at Spence Level. We have permission from the head keeper Paul Simpson to film in Spence Level, Old Gang and Hard Level. The outcome of the photoshoot was over 60 photos of various parts of the landscape which would be appropriate to film on. We also had a few videos and from these we figured that we would most deffinately need a boom pole to remover the wind from our sound videos as it is extremely open and windy. The Tom and Isaac prepared themselves to go into the opening of the mine with such epuipment as:

Epuipment-
*Lighting: Handheld torghes, head torches
*Video: Handheld Camera, 'Go Cam'
*Photo shoot: Still Camera
*Clothing: Waterproof jacket and leggings, fleece, wellies, rucksack for technical equipment, spare clothes. *Technical Equipment: Laptop to edit and analse footage. Also to upload the images taken.

The first lot of images that you will see below is where we are thinking of filming the cyclists riding around. We have chosen these places because surrounding them are good places for us to get some interesting camera angles and shots.

 

These shots are the main ones we want to use to before they enter the cage. The idea of this has come from the film 127 Hours when he is riding through the desert and there are a mixture of shots and angles throughout. All of these shot are from outside the mine. It is too dark to use a normal DSLR Canon camera but with the bigger technical video camera we can take more clearer shots whilst using a portable Arc Light. Also we will nheed to use a Boom Pole to prevent the wirey noise of the wind interferring with our sound.

All of the shots from the section above are where we are going to film some of the more interesting angles with some establishing shots to show the landscape and how deserted the mine is. The two larger images in this section are ones that are going to appear in the trailer which might flash on and off but as a combined cut. We have a chance to get some really amazing, effective shots as there are lots of smaller focus points to add depth to what we are shooting.
