Location Assessment

Jesus Green

On Wednesday 2nd February at approximately 17:00 , I travelled to Jesus Green, Cambridge to assess the location i.e. To see what it's problems are, Which areas could be included in each shot. I also took a Camera which took video and still images and was able to record the location on video and also take pictures, this will enable me and my group to see what the location looks like on video but also to evaluate how much background noise can be heard.

One of the problems I saw whilst at Jesus Green is that it is a public right of access, which means members of the public will be walking/cycling through the park. We will have to try and record within the lull of people travelling through the location.

Upon playback of the video, there was a lot of wind and traffic noise in the background which might cause problems when it comes to recording the dialogue however this parts that dialogue is not needed, the background audio can be lowered and the soundtrack can be placed over it.

Another issue is that we stated in our schedule post. that we will film our darker -lit scene at 17:20. I filmed and took pictures at 17:10 approximately. Therefore we will have to wait longer for the sun to start setting before filming much of our sequence as we want the lighting to fit within the tone that we want to create. To compensate for this we will have to find out when the sun sets in order to be able to use our filming time effectively.
