Reflection of Danbury Filming

Over the past couple of weeks we have visited this location in Danbury multiple times to get as many quality shots as possible. This location is perfect because it has a more industrial feel to it with the abandoned greenhouses and warehouses, but also has a more nature orientated side to it. With lots of beautiful apple trees, plenty of land and nature footpaths. Whilst we were at this location we got lots of great footage, that we can use throughout our music video.

At this location we had planned many different shots: When we arrived at this location for the first time we had lots of different shot ideas in our head. But on arrival the location could not facilitate some of the shots and some were not safe to do so, for health and safety reasons. Shots like the ones inside sheds and along the footpath were completely improvised, but ended up to be really good shots that we can use as footage in our music video.

We did not expect for the location to as picturesque as at turned out to be, as shown below. So we decided after filming some gritty, eerie shots of our character. We would return to the location and film some more pretty and innocent footage of our artist. This shows how the location was very versatile and meant we could get plenty of beautiful footage in one location.

 

What went wrong at this location:

One obstacle that we had to overcome when filming at this location in Danbury was the accessibility. It was very difficult to reach the different areas of the location, so we had to be very careful while walking around the area due to low ceiling and industrial items. This meant it limited the areas we could film in, but luckily there was plenty of places to film there.  Another thing that went wrong when filming was the weather, due to on the days of filming the weather changed while we there, so the lighting changes throughout the footage. This has meant we can not use some of the footage that this has happened to.
