Camera and location

As I previously mention for location during our first A.S piece we were restricted as to where we could go and film due to school timing, however this year we are able to go out more and filming different outside locations,We have come across an empty house which belongs to a member of the group which is not only empty but also undergoing refurbishment so parts of the house almost look abandoned which is perfect for what we are filming. Some of the walls have been stripped along with the floors, most of the furniture has been moved so we are left with just a house as a shell at our disposal.Close to the property also there is an area which we found perfect, outdoors it’s an alleyway which has trees standing tall either side and leads into a woodland where anything is possible, as some horrors say, the things you think that you think you would never see and are only in films, we are able to use this location and although during the day there is nothing to fear or worry about, when the sun goes down and the dark hits, who really knows what happens in this woodland, when dark hits is the time we are hoping to film in and around the woodland, hopefully by using this convention we will be able to catch some footage in the woodland that people would expect to see in a trailer of a film.The filming we have done and the rest of the filming we are going to do is being done on a camera that is of a much higher quality than the camera that was used to do the last year A.S piece. The camera we are now using is full HD, shoots higher fps and also allows the use of filters for video/photo. so instead of having to pack our footage with editing from the Mac computers we are able to film in for example black and white, the time we use on things such as editing small parts like this we can use working on other parts of the media course, on the camera when something is filmed with a filter it gives the footage a better effect than if its uploaded and edited which is something we found when we looked at two pieces of footage, one filmed with a filter and one uploaded and then edited.
