Location research

When filming it important to research the locations you will use, although in most major blockbusters many scenes are staged and don't rely on weather conditions, acts of nature e.t.c. And also it is used to perfect the scenes. Shorts on the other hand, due to usually a small budget would rather shoot on location, due to cost effectiveness and the chance factor that lighting may be perfect for the scene e.t.c.

The American television show 'Lost' used the beaches of Hawaii and then staged scenes for a large majority of the series, due to an extremely large budget it could afford these areas. This compared to the 'blair witch project' which had a very small budget, it was all shot on location, in a forest.

We decided to use my house for filming, this was due to my house containing necassery props e.g. Oxygen machine and set requirements such as a large garden containing flowers. Sadly i cannot upload the images required due to technology fault.
