Recce Shots

Recce Shots & Locations

For the outdoor scenes, I've searched around my local area, specifically in Kingsway as it's more rural. The rural aspects are required for my outdoor shots as they need to represent farmland and countryside, obvious stereotypes when relating to Country music.

I believe I've found two places where I can record these outdoor shots, however I'll be needing to contact the land-owners in hope to film on their property without trespassing.
Below is an image of a particular shot used at the beginning of my music video from last year, the same area will be used again, however this time I'll be maximising my potential in the arts of camerawork and editing.

 

When recording inside a studio, it means that I'll actual need a studio to record in. I have two further places in mind: Hardy Smiths Music store in Sutton-In-Ashfield, relatively close to home and my sister knows the owner through having lessons from there - contacts with people are very helpful when constructing a music video. Secondly, Electric Bear Productions situated in Mansfield. For both of these places, I'll be emailing them in hope of being allowed to record my studio scenes; even if it costs me to rent out their studio(s), if so I'll be creating a budget for my project.

 

To film both outside and inside will require a tops of two days each, if everything goes according to plan - as seen on my Shooting Schedule. If not, I have one more designated day to film any filler shots for my video.

At all of these places, there are risks that I need to consider and assess before actual filming. For instance, if I was to film in a studio, there's the risk of electrocution - may seem unrealistic, but is still a minor threat.
