Grindleford Location Recce

This afternoon myself, Hannah and Alex from my group went to Grindleford to look around this location and find some inspiration for our film. From first arriving there we noticed that it is a heavily wooded area, which is good for our film idea since it's going to be quite a dark film. We found an area over the bridge at the train station to the right that would be great for our film. The further we got into the woods the more beautiful the scenery would get, for example there were huge tress with twisted roots and branches, which we are planning to use as the tree the stalker sits the girl next to as she is passed out. There is also quite a big area of the woods that is full of rocks that all pile up, which could work really well in the part of the film where the girl is trying to run away but trips over. Overall we were happy after taking the trip to Grindleford as it's going to be a great area to film in, and this trip also helped us understand the importance of going for a location recce. This is not just because it's good to see what could be a problem when filming and what extra resources we'd need, it helped us come up with more creative shots for the film, and gave us a much clearer view of what that Grindleford scenes will look like.
