Edale - The day itself


With the schedule, shot list and storyboard with us, myself and Fraser set off into the countryside of Edale ready to film the material we needed to complete our 3 minute silent film "Ashes". The reason we called the film ashes is because it is based mainly on the girl (me) holding this box, which contains the ashes of a loved one she has recently lost and the whole reason that she comes to Edale is to sprinkle her amount of her nans ashes into a stream over a bridge which used to be her favourite place to visit with her Nan when she was little.

Pictured to the right is the exact bridge that we used to sprinkle the ashes over.
Whislt filming, we did encounter a few problmes as it was very "hilly" and so we had to make sure the shots were filmed correctly in order to make sure the camera was set up correctly and the shot wasn't "wonky". Also, the rain made it hard to see the screen of the camera, but luckily we had a rain cover with out equipment we had collected the previous day so we managed to insert this over our camera to protect it from the rain.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my day at Edale, although it was very wet and cold, i still managed to have fun in teh piece of work I was creating and enjoyed making my first pratical piece of the year.
