Location Test- 24 March

That day, we met up at Sainsburys at 6pm (after the first attempt did not go according to plan) and together, we visited our possible locations to decide on which ones would work for the feel of the film that we wanted to create.
First we went to Alexandra Palace to look at how the rooftop shots we wanted would work. We knew that we would be able to get some amazing shots of London from the top of the hill, so we tested the camera on a few shots of the view, and I have to say- they were pretty good, so it was a definite possibility.
Next, we went on location to the old train tracks in Muswell Hill (they've been turned into a path now). We explored with different angles and lighting, although it got dark quickly so we did not have a lot of time to see what it looks like in day light. However, we used this to our advantage and made sure that we considered all possibilities with how we could carry out our planned shots with what we had. The old train tracks under the bridge were surrounded by shrubbery, and when we explored up the stone steps along side the brick wall of the bridge to see what we could use on top of the bridge, we found that the view of London at night was quite impressive considering we were not as high up as Alexandra Palace.
Compared to Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill was more gloomy, isolated and quiet which we felt was perfect for what we were looking for so we decided to use Muswell Hill instead of Alexandra Palace.
