Location- Where And The Issues We May Have

Our ideal LOCATION- 'CORNHILL MANOR'

Today, we discussed where we would like to film Our Opening Title Sequence, We concluded that our group all are happy and wish to film at Cornhill Manor. Which is located in Cranleigh at GU6 7PJ, which is approximately only 6 minutes drive away from the main school. Therefor will not take up any crucial time needed to set up, film etc. 

This location will be extremely beneficial for our group due to it resembling and appearing to be a wealthy family home, as well as having an extremely long drive way, similar to what we pictured when talking about location and setting. Cornhill is also one of Hurtwood's boarding houses, where both myself and Grace live during the week. So hopefully it will be likely that we can get permission for it.

Below is a picture of the property:

There are several things in regards to the weather that may negatively effect our Sequence. Due to filming in Late February- March it is uncertain of the weather that could occur on the day. Therefor we need to be prepared for anything that could come our way. Therefor, im going to carry out a  small amount of research into how to film in some weather conditions, most importantly in rain and snow. This is what I found:

Rain and Snow-  As mentioned in https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/9-tips-for-shooting-video-in-the-rain/

The 9 tips for shooting in rain (similarly in snow) consist of: 

- Getting a Rain Cover.

- You can improvise a rain cover- eg- plastic ziplock bag.

- Use a lens hood.

- Don't touch lens with t shirt if it gets wet, use a microfiber. 

-  Prepare for bad audio- Although in reference to our Opening Title Sequence this will not matter due to all the sound being placed on when editing.

- Wipe of all your gear after filming.- Nearly all professional film equipment is water resistance, so it most likely will not damage your gear immediately.

- Use battery-operated lights.

- Use Silica gel.
