Planning : Scout Location

Before we set off to film we would have to do some research into our location where we aimed to shoot our teaser trailer. We did this so we could get an idea of how busy the streets would be, along with traffic, pedestrians etc, so we would know the best time to film, to avoid car noises or people walking past if we didnt want them to. We could get a reasonably accurate portrayal after a couple of visits at different times.
After gaining an accurate time frame to film we didnt really have many problems, we decided to film around lunchtime during a half term, we did this because we had the time to take each shot carefully and re-shoot if we needed to. Also most adults would be at their working environment so we didnt expect the roads to be too busy and with it getting to closer to summer the lighting was fine as it was genrally bright, which is what we wanted for our happy, vibrant, feel good rom-com.
