Unfortunately because trains suck, particularly on easter weekend, Dylan wasn't able to make it to the Barming shoot. However, Casey and I still went along and Dylan is going to do a New Forest version.
I met Casey straight after work and went recce-ing woods to see if we could find anywhere better than we had already found. We decided the initial location we had found was the best but when we got there, we couldn't get the car in a position to provide us with light. Despite a great effort!
So we found a place close by where we could get the car into the woods and pointing in a good direction for us to shoot in the trees with head lights. It was a strange patch of woods, with parts of car and loads of clothes and shoes and glass which weirded us out a bit!
It was still really light when we got there so we couldn't start shooting straight away so we recorded some sound. We recorded atmos noises, walking through the woods, shovel sounds etc.
Once it started getting dark we planned what we wanted to get.
We decided to shoot all hand held. We did various shots of the shovel and shoveling, walking through the woods, the headlight glare, over the shoulder, close ups and wides. I hope it all looks as good in final cut as it did on the monitor! You never can tell.
It was quite scary in the dark, in the woods. When we started packing up I noticed a car turned up the drive into the trees where we were. Casey and I panicked and jumped into the car, both through the same door and were a bit silly and scared. Then I realised it was a police car! hahah. We got out and had to explain what we were doing and why we acted so suspicious haha.
Our second police experience during our crime thriller production.
We had great fun and I hope Dylan's shoot goes just as well and he has as much fun as we did!
