Location Recce

If there's anything that university has taught me its this: Plan your films and do a lot of the work BEFORE you even consider setting up a camera. This process can seem boring at times but I also think it's one of the most exciting times in the creative process. One of the best time to come up with nifty ideas for your film is during the location recce. Then you see your space and can begin conceptualizing actors movements and camera positions. We did one of these very quickly in my kitchen this morning for our upcoming collaborative filming project. Blacking out our windows will probably be the most challenging part but for what we have cooking, it's gonna be worth it.
