Filming location for Tuesday 20th December (11/12/2011)

Here are some recces from our shotting location on a gravesend industrial site. The lighting here is wuite good if we only shoot in the daytime, if we need lighting we would have to use chargeable lights as there is no where for us to plug them in on site. Also we could use car headlights if need be.

We may need to record the actors speaking seperately as we are filming on the Thames and the wind may be picked up on camera which will cover the actors lines. Also there is a cement place down the road from our location so we could also pick up some sounds from there. The area is quite safe to use, there is a road there so we will have to be aware that vehicles may be passing throught at some points. We also need to be aware of needing to stop filming to allow vehicles to pass without disrupting a take.

The area is quite suitable for our thriller opening as we wanted a derelict area which we could use to make the character seem isolated also the area helps to build suspense in the piece as there are so many possibilites of what we could do in the are.

If we need to charge the camera up there are 2 pubs located just down the road from where we are filming so if it was quiet and we were customers they may allow us to charge the camera their, also my aunt works not far from the location and as one of the actors can drive we could go there and get some hot food and drinks and charge the camera there.
