Grindleford Recce

Our group made the trip to Grindleford to seek out possible locations for our cinematography film. We left with a few other groups and arrived in Grindleford with the idea of choosing the ideal vantage point for our possible film. 

As the topic of our film is a news reporter who is lured to Grindleford, we wanted to film it in places where a potential killer would be able to have a good view of the reporter. This would be for the POV shot, as we would be filming some of this from the POV of the killer. 


We also looked for possible ambush points, where we could have our  key lighting change as discussed in the brief. The amount of green in Grindleford means that we were considering a change from green to blue to reflect the change from the greenery of Grindleford to the colour of the stream.


We found the recce to be useful as it helps us to visualise and storyboard the scenes that we will be filming in Grindleford. This also helps me to script the film and means that if something goes wrong with our preferred location in Grindleford on the day that we know enough for backup location to become instantly unavailable.
