Location Hunt....sort of!

With location scouting we knew that we wanted somewhere remote and quite plain to work off as a blank canvas. We decided to look at Coed Hills in Cowbridge as it is a rural art space When we looked into Coed Hills we found that there were a number of areas in the forest that had artwork placed. Such things as a huge bird cage and chair and table that we thought would work really well with the feel of the video that we want to create. We chose to go and look at Coed Hills whilst it was snowing and ended up stranded in the filed to the opening only being able to see the birdcage.

Although we didn't manage to look around the whole area the men that work at Coed Hill (who had to come and rescue us) told us that they have over 180 acres of land and forest that contained barns, sheds and sculptures that they were more than happy for us to use in the filming. They also suggested that when it is snowing "you can see things that you can't see in the normal weather" this inspired us to look into filing the video in the snow. However filming in the snow has posed a few problems - 

- Keeping the model warm

- Changing outfits

-Keeping hair and make up set

- Travelling in the snow

- Using equipment that could get damaged in the snow

We are hoping to shoot the film next week when the snow is slightly thawed, this will leave us with good lighting and conditions and some snow that is easier to work in.
