Week Nine

This week I am going to go location scouting.
Josephine showed me this website today, Melbourne Film Locations, which shows images of locations in Melbourne including alleys, streets and parks. I'm going to look around on here first to help me figure out where I need to go when I actually go to the city.
On my day off on Wednesday I went into the city and looked at several alleys and areas around Southern cross station.
I found good locations at:

  • Godfrey Street
  • Finlay Lane
  • An area outside a building near Briscoe Lane
  • Penfold Place
  • Gurners Lane
It took me quite a while to scout all of these locations, although they're not too far apart, so if I plan my shoot well enough I should be able to minimise travelling and going back and forth between places. I also found some of the locations which had looked good on the website weren't what I wanted when I got there.
I tried to work more on my story board but I found the last scene where the lyrics are just "the sky is green" repeated several times quite difficult to do, because of the timing of the music and the amount of cuts and shots I want to use in that part.

Nine weeks down, ten to go!
